[NP-Clinical] bone isoenzymes

[Patty Davis]

She may have bone and liver mets if the colon mass is positive for CA.
Has she had a CT scan?  I think further testing is indeed needed but may
all be done by the gastroenterologist.

A quick question while I am at work, I will research more later..

 

82 year old with known elevated Alk Phos (usually in the 160-180 range)
- isoenzymes have always shown high number in the liver portion.  At
last check the total alk phos raised to 325 and the "BONE" portion of
the isoenzymes has now doubled.  Significance.further testing??  She is
currently being worked up for a colon mass highly suspect for cancer.

 

Thanks much!

 

Rebecca
