Human placental alkaline phosphatase(PLAP) is synthesized in placenta during pregnancy by placental syncytiotrophoblasts,however,its physiological role is unknown.The purpose of this study was to determine the role of total alkaline phosphatase(ALP)and placental alkaline phosphatase levels in serum of normotensive and Pregnancy induced hypertensive (PIH) mothers for its early diagnosis and management.For our study,serum samples of 50 PIH patients and 50 control pregnant mothers were collected from Department of Obstetrics and Gynaecology,LHMC & SK Hospital,NewDelhi.PLAP and total ALP levels were measured by thermal inactivation method and continuous monitoring procedure with the help of Sync.
