I believe that every parent hopes their child can grow up healthy and happy, so in the process of their growth, we must pay attention to their health condition. The various indicators of children's bodies are closely related to their health. Do parents know what causes high levels of bone alkaline phosphatase in children?
Reasons for high levels of bone alkaline phosphatase in children
1. Physiological reasons: Children who are in the growth and development stage may have high levels of alkaline phosphatase in their bone tissue, which is highly active and abundant.
2. Pathological reasons: skeletal diseases, severe anemia, cholestatic hepatitis, obstructive jaundice, primary liver cancer, etc. can all cause high levels of alkaline phosphatase.
What should I do if my child's bone alkaline phosphatase is high
However, high levels of alkaline phosphatase in children are generally not considered pathological. As children grow and develop their bones, they secrete a large amount of alkaline phosphatase, which leads to an increase in alkaline phosphatase in the blood and is a normal physiological phenomenon.
High levels of alkaline phosphatase in children are often a manifestation of calcium deficiency. If only the blood bone alkaline phosphatase index is high, and there are also high or low levels of blood phosphorus and blood calcium, the possibility of calcium deficiency should be considered, and combined with the physical examination of children. It is recommended to check the trace elements of the baby again. If the baby is diagnosed with calcium deficiency, it is necessary to supplement calcium supplements and cod liver oil in a timely manner. Vitamin D and calcium supplements should be taken under the guidance of a doctor, and regular check ups should be conducted. Calcium supplements can be chosen from calcium supplements such as calcium supplements or milk calcium. Iron deficiency should also be supplemented with iron supplements based on physical examination results. Take your baby to the sun more often and add calcium rich foods.
I believe that after reading this article, all parents will have a clear understanding of the reasons and treatment methods for children's high levels of bone alkaline phosphatase. They should pay attention in the future! To avoid this situation, I need to take my child to the hospital for regular check ups and supervise their healthy lifestyle habits.
