Intended Use
The AFP Alpha-Fetoprotein Test is a rapid chromatographic immunoassay for the qualitative detection of AFP in whole blood, serum or plasma to aid in the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma or fetal open neural tube defects.
Summary
Alpha-Fetoprotein (AFP) is normally produced by the fetal liver, yolk sac. It is one of the first alpha-globulins to appear in mammalian sera during development of the embryo and the dominant serum proteins in early embryonic life. They reappear in the adult serum during certain pathologic states. An increased level of AFP in the blood is an indicator of liver cancer. AFP is found at high levels in the blood stream when liver tumors are present. A normal AFP level is less than 25 ng/mL. When cancer is present, AFP levels have elevated more than 400 ng/mL. Measurement of the AFP level in the blood stream by AFP Alpha-Fetoprotein Test has been used as an early detection test for hepatocellular carcinoma. The test is based on immunochromatography and can give a result within 5 minutes.
