The Alpha-Fetoprotein (AFP) and AFP-L3 Test measures total AFP and the AFP-L3 fraction, which is more specific for liver cancer risk. Elevated AFP may indicate liver disease, germ cell tumors, or hepatitis, while AFP-L3 is strongly associated with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Doctors order this test to assess liver function, screen high-risk patients, and monitor cancer treatment. Results provide critical insight into liver health and cancer detection.
The Alpha Fetoprotein (AFP) Tumor Marker Test measures AFP levels in blood to help detect and monitor cancers such as liver cancer, testicular cancer, and certain ovarian tumors. Elevated AFP may also be seen with liver disease, cirrhosis, or hepatitis. Doctors order this test for patients at risk of or being treated for cancer. Results provide essential insight for diagnosis, monitoring treatment response, and tracking cancer recurrence or progression.
The Maternal AFP Test evaluates alpha-fetoprotein levels during pregnancy to assess fetal development and identify possible abnormalities. Variations in AFP may signal neural tube defects, abdominal wall issues, or genetic conditions such as trisomy 21. As part of prenatal screening, this test provides insight into maternal health and supports early evaluation of fetal growth and pregnancy outcomes.
