    What is a DCP-Decarboxy Prothrombin PIVKA II Test?

    The PIVKA-II (Protein Induced by Vitamin K Absence or Antagonist-II) test measures the level of an abnormal protein produced by your liver when there is a lack of vitamin K. This protein, also known as Des-gamma-carboxy prothrombin (DCP), is often elevated in people with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a type of liver cancer. The test is helpful in detecting HCC, especially when other markers, like alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), are normal.

    To perform this test, a blood sample is taken and sent to the lab for analysis. It is commonly used in people with chronic liver diseases, such as hepatitis B or cirrhosis, to monitor the risk of liver cancer. The PIVKA-II test is more specific than AFP, as it is less likely to be elevated due to non-cancerous liver conditions. This test helps doctors diagnose liver cancer and monitor how well treatments are working.

    If you're in Bangalore and concerned about liver health, consider booking a PIVKA-II test today.
