The positive activity of ALP_1 in the serum was accompanied by significant but mild increases in γ-GTP and LAP. These findings suggest that RA has an influence on the biliary tract. Furthermore, elevations of ALP_2 , ALP_3 , RAHA, CRP, ESR and IgA as well as a lowering of grip strength, stage and class in the ALP_1-positive RA patients were more marked than in the ALP_1-negative RA patients. These data suggest that the disease activity of RA is higher, and the bone resorption mechanism more enhanced in ALP_1-positive than in ALP_1-negative RA patients. There was no significant relationship between ALP_1 and AMA or ANA. This suggests that the possible overlapping of RA and PBC or SLE could be excluded from the reasons of the detection of ALP_1 activity.}, pages = {79--83}, title = {Relation between Rheumatoid Arthritis and Alkaline Phosphatase Isoenzymes}, volume = {40}, year = {1992} }
