Question
What is the normal reference value for the bisphosphonate acid phosphatase (BALP) test at 250U/L?
Answer
Based on your question, a BALP test result of 250U/L may fall outside the normal reference range. Typically, the normal reference range for BALP can vary depending on the laboratory, but generally, the normal range for adults is usually between 10 to 50U/L. If your BALP level is higher than this range, it may suggest a deficiency in vitamin D, or calcium deficiency.
Recommendation
To correct this condition, it is recommended to take alpha-calcidol (a vitamin D analogue) and supplement with calcium. Please follow your doctor’s guidance and tailor the treatment plan to your specific situation.
