FAL

Spanish to English Medical Medical (general)
Patient has sickle cell disease and is being presented at a medical unit for a bone marrow transplant in the USA.

I am translating a clinical report of their condition and its development. The report is from a medical institute in Havana, Cuba.

Here is the original Spanish and my English translation below

TGP 66.35 U/L TGO: 85.43U/L.........FAL 415.44U/L

Glutamic Pyruvic Transaminase: 66.35 U/L; Glutamic Oxaloacetic Transaminase: 85.43U/L: increase of total Bilirubin 20.7 umol/L at the expense of indirect bilirubin (BI) 16.9 umol/L although Direct Bilirubin with a slight increase 10.1 umol/L, FAL 415.44 U/L and Lactate dehydrogenase 1266U/L.

I cannot understand what FAL is?

For further information FAL could stand for

Alkaline phosphatase (ALP, ALKP, ALPase, Alk Phos) (EC 3.1.3.1), or basic phosphatase, is a homodimeric protein enzyme of 86 kilodaltons. Each monomer contains five cysteine residues, two zinc atoms and one magnesium atom crucial to its catalytic function, and it is optimally active at alkaline pH environments.
