Medical (general) / Blood test results
Spanish term or phrase: falc
term appears in a Spanish blood test results report as follows:

...GOT 124 U/L, GPT 38 U/L, GGT 539 U/L, Falc 178 U/L, BB total 3 mg %...

I know the meaning of all of these except falc. There are quite a few typos in this report so if anyone has any guesses to what it could be then any help appreciated.

alkaline phosphatase (ALP)
Explanation:
I think falc is almost certainly fosfatasa alcalina, an enzyme (like GOT, GPT and GGT); in English it is alkaline phosphatase, abbreviated as ALP or ALKP.
