Overview
About Alpha Fetoprotein (AFP)
AFP is a protein used both in pregnancy screening and as a tumour marker for liver and certain other cancers. In pregnancy, it helps screen for neural tube defects, while outside pregnancy it helps monitor liver conditions, especially in patients with chronic hepatitis or cirrhosis.
No fasting is required. Your doctor will interpret your AFP level differently depending on whether you are being tested for pregnancy screening or cancer monitoring, so context matters a lot with this test.
