FAQ

What does higher than normal levels of AFP indicate in pregnancy?

Higher than normal AFP levels indicate a higher risk of the presence of neural tube defects in the foetus.

When does AFP levels get elevated in pregnancy?

The AFP levels get high during the 14th-32nd weeks of gestation.

Can an AFP test diagnose cancer?

An AFP test by itself cannot diagnose cancer. This is because liver tumours do not always necessarily increase AFP levels. Also, some liver diseases that do raise AFP levels aren’t caused by cancer. So an AFP test is run along with other tests to rule out the presence of cancer in a patient.

Sterling Accuris offers a highly sensitive AFP test in   Patan .

Why And When Is The AFP Test Done?

The AFP test is also a tool to help detect some cancers that exhibit high levels of AFP in the body, which could signify the presence of tumors located around critical areas such as the liver, ovaries or testicles.
