Why this test?
This test measures blood levels of alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), a protein used as a marker to assess the function of organs such as the liver, testicles, and ovaries. AFP testing helps initially identify abnormalities that may be associated with liver disease or certain types of cancer. Results are intended as a screening and monitoring tool and must be interpreted within a comprehensive medical evaluation, as establishing a definitive diagnosis requires an extensive assessment of additional clinical factors and studies determined by the healthcare professional in charge.
