| Abstract: | Total as well as heat stable alkaline phosphatase activity was determined in sera of 70 normal pregnant mothers. Rise in activity was observed with advancement of gestation and was due to increased concentration of heat stable fraction. Statistically significant differences in levels between various gestational age groups suggest the assay of this enzyme for assessment of fetal maturity. Total alkaline phosphatase activity of 15 K.A. units/dl or more, with more than 50% of it being heat stable fraction, indicated a mature fetus (37 weeks or more gestation). |
