Liver cancer marker (also used with liver ultrasound in hepatitis B carriers).
About this test
A blood test that measures alpha-fetoprotein, a protein made by the liver of an unborn baby and found only at low levels in healthy adults. A nurse draws blood from a vein in the arm.
A raised level can point to a liver tumor, so doctors use it as a liver cancer marker. In people with hepatitis B it is often paired with a liver ultrasound. Other conditions can also raise it.
