AbstractBackground: Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is a biomarker for hepatobiliary and skeletal diseases. It is also raised in sepsis. In atherosclerotic plaques, ALP is expressed. Similar to C-reactive protein (CRP), it may be another marker of systemic inflammation. Therefore, we investigated their association in a Hong Kong Chinese population. Methods: Plasma ALP and CRP were measured in 205 subjects (110 men, 95 women; age 55.2±11.6 years) in the Hong Kong Cardiovascular Risk Factor Prevalence Study-2 cohort. Results: The blood levels of ALP and CRP were significantly correlated (r=0.30, p<0.001), which was due to a significant correlation in women (r=0.43, p<0.001). In a multivariate model, CRP level was related to ALP (β=0.18, p=0.008). After adjusting for confounding factors and other liver enzymes, the relationship between ALP and CRP remained significant in women (β=0.28, p=0.019), but in men, ALP was not an independent determinant of CRP levels. Conclusions: ALP may be another marker of systemic inflammation, especially in women. Whether it provides clinical information additional to CRP requires further study. © 2008 by Walter de Gruyter.
