ALP in SDS (Alkaline Phosphatase)

http://www.emedicine.com/ped/topic2060.htm

The emedicine article says this about Alkaline phosphatase in the SDS article:

Liver function tests

• Transaminases (ie, alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase) may be elevated in individuals with SDS.
• Alkaline phosphatase may be within the reference range or slightly increased.
• Findings on coagulation studies are normal, and the serum bilirubin level is within the reference range.
• Hypoalbuminemia may be present secondary to malabsorption.
