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.

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.
