Markedly elevated serum alkaline phosphatase level in an uncomplicated pregnancy.

In normal pregnancy, although maternal serum alkaline phosphatase increases and reaches the two-fold of non-pregnant serum level, above this level, hepatic, renal, osteal diseases and malignancies should be kept in mind. We report a case of 28-year-old pregnant woman with increased maternal serum level of alkaline phosphatase activity (17-fold) due to an increased level of placental isozyme. She delivered vaginally a healthy female baby.
