About This Test
Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is a glycoprotein normally produced by the fetal liver, yolk sac, and gastrointestinal tract during development.
After birth, AFP levels fall rapidly and remain very low in healthy adults.
In adults, increased AFP levels may indicate:

Fasting is not required for AFP
3. How soon will I get my reports?
Mon-Sat, sample before 4pm, report same day and sunday reports, next day.
4. Are biochemistry tests reliable?
Yes. We use fully automated machines that ensure accurate and consistent results.
5. Can these tests detect early health problems?
AFP (Alpha-Fetoprotein) testing helps detect early health problems by measuring a protein produced mainly by the liver.
TAT Policy
The Turnaround Time (TAT) depends on the following factors:
- Registration date and time
- Type of scan or test
- Scan time or sample collection time
In uncommon circumstances, TAT may be delayed due to test complexity or reasons beyond our control. You will be informed of the estimated TAT at the time of registration.
