Patient's question:
How to treat high alpha-fetoproteinDoctor's answer:
Hello, alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is a glycoprotein with the English abbreviation AFP. Under normal conditions, this protein primarily comes from the liver cells of the embryo. About two weeks after a baby is born, AFP disappears from the blood. Therefore, the level of AFP in normal human serum is usually less than 20 micrograms per liter. If only AFP is high, and other liver function indicators and ultrasound results are normal, there is no need to worry. If you still feel uneasy, you can regularly recheck this indicator.
