Question
Are the calcium and alkaline phosphatase in the blood test for trace elements the same? A one-and-a-half-month-old baby recently developed nape baldness and severe milk regurgitation, and someone said it might be due to calcium deficiency. We have already conducted a trace element test, and the results show no calcium deficiency. If there is a suspicion of low blood calcium, what tests should be done? Is there a test called alkaline phosphatase? Is this test the same as the calcium in trace elements?
Answer
Hello, the baby’s nape baldness indicates a potential calcium deficiency. It is recommended to supplement calcium for the baby. Guidance: Hello, the baby indeed shows signs of calcium deficiency. The trace element test can more accurately reflect the results. A blood test reflects the condition over the past few days. If eaten within these days, it may show no calcium deficiency. It is recommended to supplement calcium for the baby using Dicalcium Phosphate D3 granules. Bone-derived alkaline phosphatase is known as NBAP. Alkaline phosphatase (NBAP) is one of the markers of osteoblasts, directly reflecting their activity or functional state. It is currently the best indicator used to evaluate bone mineralization disorders in humans.
