“Markedly Elevated Serum Alkaline Phosphatase in A Pregnancy with Acute on Chronic Chorioamnionitiswith Encephalocele,MeningoceleAnd Hydrocephalus in Fetus.”
Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2017, Vol 16, Issue 3
Abstract
In normal pregnancy, although maternal serum alkaline phosphatase increases and reaches the twofold of non-pregnant serum level, above this level, hepatic, renal, bone diseases and malignancies should be kept in mind. We report a case of 26-year-old pregnant woman with increased maternal serum level of alkaline phosphatase (10-fold). Patient was induced and delivered a female baby with encephalocele,meningocele and hydrocephalus. After delivery, maternal serum alkaline phosphatase activity returned to normal reference range.
