AFP is a fetal serum protein measured in pregnant women during screening tests to assess the risk of neural tube defects (like spina bifida) and chromosomal abnormalities (such as Down syndrome). Abnormal AFP levels in maternal blood can indicate potential fetal anomalies, prompting further diagnostic evaluations. AFP is also used as a tumor marker for hepatocellular carcinoma and germ cell tumors in non-pregnant individuals.

Frequently Asked Questions
When should I take an alpha-fetoprotein test?
Your healthcare professional may ask for an Alpha Fetoprotein Test between 15 & 20 weeks of pregnancy to check the baby’s risk of developing genetic disorders or birth defects.
What is the normal AFP range?
Less than 40 ng/mL are considered normal AFP levels in adults. And the normal range for gestation at 15 to 21 weeks is 10 to 150 ng/mL. These levels rise around the 12th week of pregnancy and drop consistently until birth.
What causes raised AFP?
In general cases, elevated AFP can be due to Liver Cancer, Tumor of Testis, and cancer of Ovaries. Sometimes, liver injury or disease can also elevate their levels. High AFP in pregnant women indicates a higher probability of a baby with neural tube defects. However, it is an indicative test, so your doctor may call for additional testing to confirm the condition.
What does an abnormal AFP test mean?
Abnormal AFP points to several chronic illnesses and certain cancers. And for pregnant women, it may mean that their baby is at higher risk of having a neural tube defect. However, a condition can be confirmed with additional testing only.
What is the AFP test used for?
AFP tests are used to predict cancer, measure AFP levels, determine your baby’s risk of birth defects, monitor the effectiveness of the cancer treatment, or check the reoccurrence of cancer after the treatment.
