Alpha Fetoprotein (AFP), Maternal Marker

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.1 PARAMETER INCLUDED

    Q&A

    Helps you know your test better

    Q. What is Alpha-Fetoprotein?

    A. Alpha-Fetoprotein, also called AFP, is a plasma protein made in the liver of a developing fetus and yolk sacs and is present in pregnant women’s blood. Its level, whether too high or low, indicates a problem and needs to be tested in time.

    Q. What Does Alpha-Fetoprotein Blood Test Show?

    A. It measures AFP Levels in the blood and analyzes a baby’s risk for certain genetic problems and birth defects. Your doctor may call this test during 15-20 weeks of pregnancy to examine the overall condition of the baby and mother-to-be.

    Q. What Are normal Alpha-Fetoprotein Levels?

    A. AFP Levels in between 0 ng/mL to 40 ng/mL are considered normal. Levels greater than normal signify health problems.

    Q. What Happens During AFP Tumor Marker Test?

    A. Your healthcare professional may draw a blood sample from your vein to test it on varied grounds and provide accurate AFP Levels in blood during pregnancy.

    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.
