A member asked:
I have had four alphafetoprotein tests: 16.2, 17.4, 19.0, 19.5 can you have elevated afp and be disease free?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Is your AFP level : Elevated?. What is the normal range for the lab doing your test? Why were you tested? AFP may be elevated in a woman carrying a child with spina bifida, or in person with liver disease and or liver tumors, and in some genital tumors.
