Calcium, Phosphorus & Alkaline Phosphatase Levels in Acute Lymphoid Leukemia

— Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a malignant transformation and proliferation of lymphoid progenitor cells in the bone marrow, blood and extra medullary sites. While 80% of ALL occurs in children, it represents a devastating disease when it occurs in adults. The leukemias are best viewed as malignant neoplasia of white blood cells precursors. The present study is undertaken to evaluate the serum Calcium, Phosphorus & Alkaline phosphatase in ALL. These biochemical parameters have significance and will help in the differential diagnosis of the disease. The diagnosis of ALL is confirmed by hematological and histological examinations. The Levels of Calcium, Phosphorus & Alkaline phosphatase in ALL were estimated and were found to be elevated significantly. The estimation of these was conducted in our biochemistry laboratory and requires no extra cost & can be performed in our daily routine investigation and thus will be helpful for further diagnosis of the disease.
