My early fetal high protein value, normal value 0-20, and I have 56, I heard that the high value is the liver problem has even more horrible is the early stage of liver cancer how to do?
Answer:
You are not too high, there should be no problem too big.
AFP is a glycoprotein, the English abbreviation AFP. Under normal circumstances, this protein mainly from fetal liver cells, the fetus was born about two weeks after the disappearance of alpha-fetoprotein from the blood, so normal levels of serum alpha-fetoprotein less than 20 micrograms / liter. canceration happen when the liver cells when they restored the function of such proteins, and along with the deteriorating condition of its serum levels increase dramatically, AFP has become the diagnostic primary liver cancer, a specific clinical indicators.
Detection of alpha-fetoprotein has several methods, measured by radioimmunoassay of alpha-fetoprotein greater than 500 micrograms / L, and continued four weeks, or alpha-fetoprotein at 200500 micrograms / L, sustained eight weeks, and at alpha-fetoprotein caused by exclusion of other factors such as increased acute and chronic hepatitis, liver cirrhosis, embryonal carcinoma, gastrointestinal cancer, the need to re-check the combination of positioning, such as B-, CT, magnetic resonance (MRI) and hepatic angiography such as diagnosis can be made. However, normal pregnant women, a small number of hepatitis and cirrhosis, malignant tumors, such as gonad AFP cases will increase, but higher than the rate of liver cancer at such a high level. A fetal serum of patients with liver cirrhosis protein concentration of many at 25,200 micrograms / L, generally within 2 months with the decline in the improvement of the disease, most will not be more than two months; simultaneously with elevated transaminase, when aminotransferase dropped also after alpha-fetoprotein decline in serum alpha-fetoprotein concentrations were often associated with transaminase parallel relationship. If the alpha-fetoprotein concentration at 500 g / liter, although elevated transaminase, but the possibility of liver cancer, and transaminase decline or stability, and alpha-fetoprotein increase in liver cancer should be highly suspected.
Alpha-fetoprotein in liver cancer before symptoms of 8 months has increased, the majority of liver cancer patients at this time no obvious symptoms, are also less tumor, which in some patients after surgery, the prognosis can be significantly improved, so cirrhosis, chronic hepatitis patients, the family has liver cancer patients Detect a person should be six months.
