Benign Transient Hyperphosphatasemia (BTH) is the most frequent cause of isolated elevation of Alkaline Phosphatase (AF) in the pediatric population. It is relevant to have the suspicion of this entity given its frequency, self limited character and easy diagnosis, despite this, it is little known and studied in Pediatrics. Its symptoms are associated with healthy children, such as viral respiratory, gastrointestinal infections and delayed weight gain. The objective of this work is to report a clinical case and review the diagnosis of HBT.
Key words: Transient Benign Hyperphosphatasemia, Pediatrics, Alkaline Phosphatase. |
