BACKGROUND: Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is a glycoprotein molecule, which has similarity to
albumin and is produced by the fetal liver. Its biological role is unclear and factors that may …

Objective: To establish a reference distribution of maternal serum alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) at
11–13 weeks' gestation and define the contribution of maternal variables that influence the …

The aim of this study was to establish reference values and factors associated with serum
AFP elevation in infants. Five hundred twenty-four samples collected from infants up to the …

Abstract Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) was 1 of the first serum protein markers to serve in the dual
capacities of tumor marker and fetal defect marker, ie, an oncofetal protein, in the clinical …

α-Fetoprotein (AFP) measurements have clinical implications in fetal medicine and, in
infants and older children, in detection, differential diagnosis and monitoring of malignant …

Objective: To determine whether high levels of serum alphafetoprotein (AFP) predict
increased risk of adverse pregnancy outcomes, including preterm birth (before 37 weeks) …

Objective To define the contribution of maternal variables which influence the measured
level of maternal serum alpha‐fetoprotein (AFP) in screening for pregnancy complications …

Objective: To examine the potential value of maternal serum level of α-fetoprotein (AFP) in
the first trimester of pregnancy in the prediction of spontaneous early preterm delivery …

Age‐dependent changes of serum α‐fetoprotein (AFP) levels were analyzed in 284 normal
infants, including 113 full‐term neonates and 171 infants between 1–12 months old. Serial …

Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) is a serum protein, which is characteristic of the fetal development
period and a well-known oncological marker. The predominance of AFP among serum …
