significantly increased maternal serum AFP levels after AMN: the proportion of bloody taps among the U subjects with no significant increase in AFP after AMN was 1/121 (.8%) whereas the same proportion mounted to 4/9 (44%) among patients with a more than 300% increase in maternal serum ...
levels of serum AFP.5,6,15 Elevated AFP levels have occasionally been found in association with gastrointestinal tract cancers with and without liver metastases16 and only rarely in other malignancies.5,6 Serum AFP has been found to be elevated during pregnancy, in diseases such as ataxia ...
Maternal serum alphafetoprotein was assayed in 436 women presenting for termination of pregnancy at 6 to 12 weeks. The normal range for each week is presented. There was a progressive rise of AFP levels from week 7 onwards, but a clear separation from non-pregnant values was only apparent ...
Alpha-Fetoprotein (AFP) Levels in Maternal Serum in Relation to Transabdominal Amniocentesis in Early Pregnancy242 patients 150 from Uppsala (U) and 92 from elsewhere (E) underwent successful amniocentesis (AMN) before the 20th gestational week with recovery of amniotic fluid (AF) specimens of ...
G. O., Lidbjork, G., et al., 1977, Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) levels in maternal serum in relation to pregnancy outcome in 7158 pregnant women prospectively investigated during their 14 th –20th week post last menstrual period, Acta Obstet. Gynecol. Scand. 69 :25....
Abnormal levels are indicative of various pregnancy problems. Deviations of 2.5 multiples of the median or greater above the normal range can indicate various neural tube disorders. On the other hand, levels lower than 70% of the normal range can indicate chromosomal anomalies such as Down and ...
Methods: The concen-tration of AFP in amniotic fluid sample from 25,038 second trimester pregnancy women was de-tected by using enzyme linked immunosorbent assay. The outcomes were recorded. Results: The upper limit of reference range and 2.5 MoM of the AFP in different gestational weeks are ...

Results: There was an association of serum PlGF levels (OR 0.53 per interquartile range [IQR] increase in PlGF; 95% CI 0.24 – 1.16), sFlt-1/PlGF ratio (OR 1.42 per IQR increase in sFlt-1/PlGF; 95% CI 1.03 – 1.96), serum Visfatin levels (OR 0.31 per IQR increase in Visfatin; ...
We suggest that women with elevated serum AFP or hCG should receive standard pregnancy care once they have reached 37 weeks of gestation if fetal growth is in the normal range.SabrinaTancrèdeEmmanuelBujoldYvesGiguèreMarie-HélèneRenaldJoel
