I have a two year old male child (DOB 03-06-96)that presents as FTT. He has had persistantly poor weight gain, despite high caloric intake of elemental formula (NeoCate One+)via GT. He takes in an excess of 1520 calories from formula, and another 247.5 calories daily form microlipids. On july 29, 1998 h4e ahd a weight of 20 puonds (naked). His alkaline phosphatase levels were drawn and his level was 1850. An x-ray was done to look at bone density, and it looked fine. On August 12, 1998 he presented with a naked weight of 23 pounds, one ounce. At that time his calorice intake was decreased, the microlipids were discontinued. On August 20, 1998, he presented with a naked weight of 24 pounds even. His alkaline phosphatase level was rechecked, the results are still pending. What could cause such a high alkaline p-hosphatase level? I do know that his Zinc levels were WNL, as were his clacium and other labs.
