Understanding the Alpha Feto Protein (AFP) Test

The AFP (Alpha Feto Protein) Serum Test measures the levels of alpha-fetoprotein in the blood. This protein is produced by the fetal liver during pregnancy and is transferred into the mother’s bloodstream. For pregnant women, the AFP test helps assess the risk of genetic conditions like Down syndrome or neural tube defects in the fetus. In non-pregnant individuals, it serves as a tumor marker to diagnose cancers, such as liver, testicular, or ovarian cancer. It is also useful for monitoring the effectiveness of ongoing treatments for certain medical conditions.

Alpha Feto Protein (AFP) Test Measures

Abnormal AFP levels can indicate serious health concerns. In pregnancy: High levels may suggest neural tube defects, while low levels could indicate chromosomal disorders like Down syndrome. In non-pregnant individuals: Elevated AFP levels can signal cancers or liver-related conditions, such as cirrhosis or hepatitis. Early detection through the AFP Test ensures timely medical intervention, reducing risks for both the mother and the fetus or addressing non-pregnancy-related health conditions effectively.
