French term or phrase: PASCS alc
From a patient report of a man with multiple myeloma presenting in the ED with acute respiratory distress:

Under "Bilan hépatique" it has all the usual suspects, total bilirubin, AST, ALT, gamma GT and then...'Pascs alc.: 181 UI/L'

The 'P' is capitalised and the 'ascs' is lowercase and superscript.

I am stumped!

Thanks!

agree  Michael Barnett: No "bilan hepatique" would be complete without an alk phos.
