    What is Alpha Feto Protein (AFP) Test?

    The Alpha Feto Protein (AFP) test evaluates the amount of alpha fetoprotein in the blood. This protein is produced by the liver during cellular development and is found in high concentrations in unborn babies. After birth, AFP levels drop drastically, leaving only trace amounts in non-pregnant adults and healthy children. Abnormal AFP levels during pregnancy may point to genetic disorders or birth defects. For individuals not expecting a baby, the test is commonly used as a tumour marker, particularly for detecting liver, ovarian, or testicular cancers.

    An AFP test provides valuable information about potential health issues, including genetic concerns during pregnancy and some types of cancer.

    Alpha Feto Protein (AFP) Test Parameters

    The AFP test examines a single parameter: the level of alpha feto protein in your bloodstream. Produced by the foetus’s liver and yolk sac, this protein’s levels drop significantly by the age of one and remain very low in adulthood. Any irregularities in AFP levels may indicate health concerns or the need for additional testing.

    Alpha Feto Protein (AFP) Test Preparation

    When preparing for an AFP test, keep the following in mind:

    Prerequisites : There is no need to fast before this test.

    Best Time to Get Tested : This test can be performed at any time of the day.

    Who Should Get an Alpha Feto Protein (AFP) Test : This test may be necessary if:

    • Other medical exams or physical assessments indicate a possible risk of liver, ovarian, or testicular cancer.

    • You are receiving treatment for a cancer linked to high AFP levels and need regular progress assessments.

    • Post-treatment testing is required to monitor for cancer recurrence.

    • You have chronic liver conditions like hepatitis or cirrhosis, which elevate the risk of liver cancer. Rising AFP levels may suggest liver cancer, and the test is often part of a larger diagnostic approach.

    Cautions Before Taking an Alpha Feto Protein (AFP) Test : No special preparation or precautions are needed before undergoing this test.

    Why Take the Alpha Feto Protein (AFP) Test?

    Why should you consider an AFP test?

    Cancer Diagnosis Confirmation : This test, combined with other assessments, aids in diagnosing or excluding liver, ovarian, or testicular cancer.

    Predict Cancer Behaviour : It helps predict how cancer might progress, which is essential for planning effective treatments.

    Monitor Cancer Treatment : Rising or falling AFP levels provide clues about the success of treatment or progression of cancer.

    Check for Cancer Recurrence : Regular AFP tests can identify a potential recurrence of cancer after treatment.

    Guide Treatment Decisions : AFP levels can play a role in deciding specific treatments for some types of cancer.

    Monitor Liver Conditions : For individuals with chronic liver diseases like hepatitis or cirrhosis, this test is a useful tool for cancer risk monitoring.

    AFP Test During Pregnancy : The test may also be important during pregnancy in these instances:

    • Advanced Maternal Age : Pregnant individuals over 35 may need AFP testing to evaluate foetal health.

    • Family History of Birth Defects : If birth defects run in the family, the test can help assess risks.

    • Diabetes During Pregnancy : This test can help identify potential complications in pregnancies affected by diabetes.
