Sterling Accuris Diagnostics offers the α-Fetoprotein or AFP-Fluid test in Petlad to measure the levels of AFP in the amniotic fluid of pregnant women
Overview of AFP-Fluid Test
Alpha fetoprotein (AFP) is a protein made by the developing foetus in the mother’s womb. Higher or lower than normal levels of this protein may be an indication of neural tube defects, or other abnormalities like congenital kidney disease, down’s syndrome, or other forms of fetal distress
Book an AFP-fluid test near you to diagnose any problems with your developing foetus. For accurate and reliable test results, you can rely on Sterling Accuris Diagnostics for an AFP-fluid test in Petlad .
Why And When Is An AFP Fluid Test Done?
AFP is made by a developing foetus in pregnant women. If a foetus has an open neural tube defect, then AFP directly leaks into the amniotic fluid, whose levels can be assessed by this test. An AFP test can also measure the risk of birth defects in a foetus.
A doctor may order an AFP-fluid test if a pregnant woman has:
- A family history of genetic defects.
- Diabetes
- Used drugs that can pose risk to a developing foetus.
- 35 years or older
An AFP-fluid test is also done:
- if blood tests are abnormal
- If an ultrasound showed a possibility of birth defect

- Instructions: Fasting is not required
