Total, tartrate-resistant, and tartrate-inhibited acid phosphatases in serum: biological variations and reference limits

Centre de Medecine Preventive, Vandoeuvre-les-Nancy, France.

We studied several factors affecting biological variation in serum acid phosphatases in a population of 1195 apparently healthy subjects four years old or older. We assayed total acid phosphatase activities in the presence of a transphosphorylating agent and using alpha-naphthyl phosphate as substrate. The main factors modifying total and tartrate- resistant acid phosphatases activities in serum are similar to those observed for total and bone alkaline phosphatases activities: age, sex, and hormonal state (puberty or menopause). The tartrate-inhibited acid phosphatase activity is, however, independent of biological variations. Finally, we propose reference limits for total, tartrate-resistant, and tartrate-inhibited acid phosphatases in serum.
