What does this test Alpha Fetoprotein (AFP) Test Immunohistochemistry identify?

Alpha Fetoprotein (AFP) Test Immunohistochemistry

The Alpha Fetoprotein (AFP) Test Immunohistochemistry is a diagnostic test that identifies the presence of alpha-fetoprotein in tissue samples. Alpha-fetoprotein is a protein that is produced by the liver and yolk sac of a developing fetus. In adults, elevated levels of AFP in the blood or tissues can be a sign of certain types of cancer, particularly liver cancer.

During the AFP Test Immunohistochemistry, tissue samples are collected and stained with antibodies that specifically bind to alpha-fetoprotein. The presence of AFP in the tissue sample can then be visualized under a microscope. This test is commonly used in the diagnosis and monitoring of liver cancer, as well as other types of cancer that may produce AFP.

Why is this test Alpha Fetoprotein (AFP) Test Immunohistochemistry taken?

The Alpha Fetoprotein (AFP) Test Immunohistochemistry is taken to measure the levels of AFP in the blood. AFP is a protein that is normally produced by the liver and yolk sac of a developing baby during pregnancy. However, elevated levels of AFP in the blood can indicate certain conditions such as liver disease, certain types of cancer (such as liver cancer or testicular cancer), or neural tube defects in a developing fetus.
