Abstract:Objective To explore the value of serum 5′-nucleotidase (5′-NT) and its combination with alanine aminotransferase (ALT) in identifying bone metastases in cancer patients with elevated alkaline phosphatase (ALP). Methods A total of 176 cancer patients who enrolled from Cancer Hospital, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and Peking Union Medical College from December 2018 to August 2019 were selected. Among them, 88 cases with elevated ALP but without bone metastasis were named the liver cancer with elevated ALP group; other 88 cases with bone metastasis and elevated ALP but normal liver function were named the cancer with bone metastasis and elevated ALP group; 50 healthy volunteers were named the normal control group at the same time. The levels of serum 5′-NT and ALT were detected in three groups. Results The positive rate of 5′-NT in the liver cancer with elevated ALP group was higher than that in the cancer with bone metastasis and elevated ALP group (P < 0.01). The serum levels of 5′-NT in liver cancer with elevated ALP group were higher than those in the cancer with bone metastasis and elevated ALP group and the normal control group (P < 0.01). The increased serum 5′-NT or ALT levels were protective factors for bone metastases in cancer patients with elevated ALP. The area under the curve (AUC) of 5′-NT to judge the elevation of ALP to malignant tumor bone metastasis was 0.966, and the sensitivity was 90.91% and the specificity was 89.77% when the critical value was < 5.6 U/L. The AUC of 5′-NT combined with ALT was 0.980, and the specificity was increased to 96.49%. Conclusion The combined detection of 5′-NT and ALT has a certain clinical value in differentiating bone metastases of malignant tumors with elevated ALP.
