✦ Synopsis
We read with interest the report by Shaver et al. (1) on low serum alkaline phosphatase (AP) activity in Wilson's disease. We recently noted not only a low, but unmeasurable serum AP activity in a patient with Wilson's disease who presented with acute fulminant hepatic failure associated with severe hemolysis. During the patient's brief hospitalization, we attempted to ascertain why the serum AP activity was not measurable, and our efforts are described below.
