What does ALPHA FETO PROTEIN measure?
This test measures alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), a protein that may be present at higher or lower levels in certain clinical situations. It may be used to help evaluate and monitor some liver conditions and certain cancers, and may also be ordered during pregnancy as part of prenatal assessment. AFP results are interpreted together with medical history, examination findings, and other tests.
