What is AFP-Alpha Feto Protein L3 fraction Serum?

This blood test measures the L3 fraction of Alpha-Fetoprotein (AFP), a specific type of protein. Elevated levels of AFP, particularly the L3 fraction, can be an indicator of certain liver conditions.

Why is this test important?

The AFP-L3 fraction is primarily used as a biomarker for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), a type of liver cancer. It helps in early detection, monitoring treatment effectiveness, and predicting recurrence, especially in patients with chronic liver disease.

How to Prepare

No special preparation required.
