Enzymatic Activities in the serum of Leprosy Patients

1) On Phosphatase

Abstract

The evaluation of enzymatic activities in the patients serum has been enphasized a good deal clinically on the diagnosis and prognosis of the disease.
It has been known these various enzymes in serum are produced from tissue cells.
They are said to be restored in the cells and metabolize themselves and are excreated via endocrine organs and degenerated or destructed cells.
We have discussed about K and urinary creative as well as serum phosphatase under the disease and the normal condition.
1) Alkaline phosphatase, P and Ca remain unchanged in the serum of leprosy patients.
This means that general bone pathological changes in leprosy are due to rather the abnormal conditions belonging to nutritional and functional disturbances from secondary infection that abnormal phosphorous metabolism.
2) Acid phosphatase and ATP ase remain the normal levels.
3) Alkaline ATP ase in the serum of the leprosy is activated by Mg.
Alkaline ATP ase increases somewhat in leprosy than normal. It can be said that unstability of alkaline ATP ase in leprosy depends on rather leprous tissue and its destruction than secondary muscule atrophy.
