| Abstrakt: | Benign transient hyperphosphatasemia is characterized by a significant increase in alkaline phosphatase levels, which is detected incidentally in infancy and children without underlying bone and liver disease. This condition is a biochemical disorder rather than a clinical disorder and resolves within a short duration. Recognition of this entity by pediatricians is important to avoid unnecessary investigations. Here, we report an infant who was diagnosed as having benign transient hyperphosphatasemia based on clinical and laboratory findings who had increased alkaline phosphatase levels during zinc supplementation, with the aim of highlighting benign transient hyperphosphatasemia in infancy and childhood. Competing Interests: Conflict of Interest: No conflict of interest was declared by the authors. |
