Journal Title: International Journal of Medical Research Professionals - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 3
Abstract
Purpose: The present study examines the Activity of Serum Alkaline phosphatase in Rheumatoid Arthritis for diagnosis and management. Methods: A total number of 100 subjects were selected from orthopaedics OPD at CCM Medical College Hospital Durg. 58 subjects are suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis age range of 45 to 70 years. 42 subjects age, sex matched was selected for control group. Controls were clinically and physically normal and healthy. Results: The level of alkaline phosphatase statically significantly higher in Rheumatoid arthritis patients than normal healthy control group. When Values are compared with normal control values 15 male patients out of 23 patients ALP level was highly increased found while out of 35 female patients 26 female patients ALP level highly increased found than normal healthy controls. Increased level of ALP indicates that the disease is more active. Conclusion: Increased level of ALP indicates that the disease is more active. The increased activity of ALP may be due to its leakage from injured or killed cells. Our study will provide in clinical practice to use the easy and least expensive test, to assess the disease and response to treatment. Very high concentrations of serum alkaline phosphatase may indicate an underlying secondary disease.
