The interpretation of total alkaline phosphatase in paediatric patients is complicated by the wide range of normal values in the various age groups. Selected separations of isoenzymes in cases of rickets, hepatitis, cirrhosis, congenital atresia of the bile duct, during cytostatic or anticonvulsant therapy in 32 paediatric patients demonstrate the clinical relevance of isoenzyme determination.
