    What is Alpha Feto Protein (AFP) Test?

    The Alpha Feto Protein (AFP) test measures the alpha fetoprotein levels in your bloodstream. Produced by the liver during cell division, this protein is highly abundant in unborn babies but becomes almost negligible after birth, remaining at trace levels in healthy non-pregnant adults and children. During pregnancy, deviations in AFP levels may suggest the presence of genetic disorders or birth defects. For individuals who are not pregnant, the test is primarily utilized as a tumour marker to detect cancers such as liver, ovarian, or testicular cancer.

    The AFP test is a useful tool for identifying potential health concerns like prenatal genetic conditions and certain cancers.

    Alpha Feto Protein (AFP) Test Parameters

    The AFP test evaluates only one parameter: the alpha feto protein level in the blood. This protein, made by the liver and yolk sac of a foetus, decreases substantially by the time a child turns one and remains at low levels in adults. Abnormal results could suggest potential health issues or necessitate further testing.

    Alpha Feto Protein (AFP) Test Preparation

    Here are some things you should know before scheduling an AFP test:

    Prerequisites : The AFP test does not require fasting beforehand.

    Best Time to Get Tested : The test is not time-sensitive and can be done at any hour of the day.

    Who Should Get an Alpha Feto Protein (AFP) Test : Consider this test if:

    • Findings from other tests or physical examinations point to possible liver, ovarian, or testicular cancer.

    • You are undergoing treatment for a cancer associated with elevated AFP levels, to track treatment outcomes.

    • You’ve completed cancer treatment and required periodic tests to check for recurrence.

    • Chronic liver diseases like hepatitis or cirrhosis increase your risk of liver cancer. A rising AFP level can signal liver cancer, and the test is sometimes paired with others to track cancer progression.

    Cautions Before Taking an Alpha Feto Protein (AFP) Test : There are no specific precautions to take prior to the test.

    Why Take the Alpha Feto Protein (AFP) Test?

    Reasons for undergoing an AFP test include:

    Cancer Diagnosis Confirmation : The test is used with other exams to diagnose or rule out cancers of the liver, ovaries, or testicles.

    Predict Cancer Behaviour : AFP testing can help anticipate how cancer will progress, assisting with treatment decisions.

    Monitor Cancer Treatment : Changes in AFP levels, rising with cancer growth and decreasing with effective treatment, allow for progress tracking.

    Check for Cancer Recurrence : AFP tests are valuable in detecting a return of cancer after treatment completion.

    Guide Treatment Decisions : In certain cases, AFP levels can help determine the best course of treatment for some cancers.

    Monitor Liver Conditions : Those with chronic liver conditions like hepatitis or cirrhosis can use AFP testing to monitor their health, as these conditions increase cancer risk.

    AFP Test During Pregnancy : Testing may also be required in these pregnancy-related situations:

    • Advanced Maternal Age : Pregnant individuals over 35 may need the test to assess foetal well-being.

    • Family History of Birth Defects : The AFP test can help identify risks of birth defects in such cases.

    • Diabetes During Pregnancy : Testing can assist in detecting complications in diabetic pregnancies.
