Alkaline Phosphatase in Normal Infants

Joan M L Stephen, Pearl Stephenson
PMCID: PMC1647480  PMID: 5576029

Abstract

Alkaline phosphatase was measured in plasma from children receiving vitamin D supplements in day nurseries in the London area, and from children exposed to sunlight in the West Indies. The distribution of values showed that there was no precise upper limit which could be used in the diagnosis of subclinical vitamin D deficiency.
