Description
Summary:: Transient, isolated hyperphosphatasemia is a rare, benign condition of childhood. Few cases have been described in transplant patients. We report six cases: three after liver transplantation and three after kidney transplantation. Such a phenomenon was found to be as benign after organ transplantation as it is in healthy children. Hence, an isolated increase in the serum alkaline phosphatase level following transplantation should not be of concern in this population of patients .
