Never checked as routine, AFP is a tumoral marker, sometimes checked in pregnancy as well. Related to liver malignancies and liver non malignant disease most frequently, only the doc ordering the test may be able to explain in proper context.

All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, you may wish to repeat the test in 3-6 months to see if it has increased further. Alternatively your doctor could perform imaging study of the liver to set up a baseline.
