The AFP test, also known as Alpha-fetoprotein test, is a blood test used to screen for certain types of cancers, particularly liver cancer. AFP is a protein produced by the liver and yolk sac of a developing baby during pregnancy. In adults, AFPlevels in the blood are normally low, but...
(25.6 ± 1.5)ng/mL.Among 516 cases who were taken early antenatal examination,3 cases(0.58%) were found high risk of Down's syndrome,and then confirmed by amniotic fluid,umbilical cord blood test.Conclusion:Joint detection of serum AFP,β-HCG and PAPP-A in early pregnancy is an important...
This article focuses on the growing practice of maternal serum alphafetoprotein (AFP) screening during pregnancy. It discusses the merits and limitations of the AFP blood test as a method of identifying women at risk for bearing children with neural tube (brain or spine) defects and for other ...
Outside of pregnancy, the AFP test is used to detect liver disease, certain cancers, and to monitor the progress of any cancer treatment. WHAT IS IT? Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) blood test Genetically linked viruses were isolated in 2015; 10 AFP cases and 11 isolates were identified through comm...

Outside of pregnancy and birth, liver damage and certain cancers can increase AFP levels significantly. This test measures the level of AFP in your blood. AFP is produced whenever liver cells are regenerating. With chronic liver diseases, such as hepatitis and cirrhosis, AFP may be chronically ...

Objective To investigate the value of detecting plasma α-fetoprotein(AFP) and free-β human chorionic gonadotropin (F-βHCG) at midtrimester pregnance in screening congenital defects chiefly for Doun Syndrome.Methods Assess the risk by software through the two blood biochemical tests at 14 to 20 ...
Among them, the serological detection of AFP is an important diagnostic method and, while AFP is generally considered a specific marker for the detection of primary liver cancer, other factors such as pregnancy, gonad embryoma, active hepatitis, and secondary liver cancer need to be excluded. ...
Maternal serum AFP levels during each trimester of pregnancy were normal indicating that these levels cannot be used as a screening test in prenatal diagnosis. Three-year follow-up after birth showed constantly elevated serum levels in the patient from the start, suggesting a lack of postnatal ...
