Application of alpha-fetoprotein detection in early screening of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC)

(HCC) HCCHCC
Hepatitis B and alpha-fetoprotein:
When AFP was 2.
08, its sensitivity and specificity for judging significant liver inflammation in CHB patients were 89.
8% and 88.
3%, respectively, higher than the sensitivity of ALT
.

Liver cancer and alpha-fetoprotein
HCCHCC When alpha-fetoprotein (AFP)>20μg/L, combined with B-ultrasound, CT and other examinations, early detection of HCC can be taken, timely treatment can be taken, and survival time can be prolonged
.

HCC usually uses AFP of 20 μg/L as the pathological threshold for diagnosing HCC, and AFP>400 μg/L as the reliable threshold for HCC
.
Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)
