What is the normal range for AFP?

An AFP level between 10 ng/mL to 20 ng/mL is normal for adults. An extremely high level of AFP in your blood—greater than 400 ng/mL—could be a sign of liver tumors. High levels of AFP may mean other cancers, including Hodgkin disease, lymphoma, and renal cell carcinoma (kidney cancer).

What is AFP 3?

AFP-L3 is the LCA-bound fraction of AFP. It has been reported that malignant liver cells produce AFP-L3, even when HCC is at its early stages, and especially when the tumor mass is supplied by the hepatic artery. Clinical research has determined that AFP-L3 is a highly specific marker for HCC.

What is an abnormal AFP result?

What do the results mean? If your results show higher than normal AFP levels, it may mean your baby has a neural tube defect such as spina bifida, a condition in which the bones of the spine don’t close around the spinal cord, or anencephaly, a condition in which the brain does not develop properly.

What is the difference between AFP and AFP-L3?

AFP-L3 reacts with L culinaris agglutinin A and it is a fucosylated variant of AFP. To differentiate an increase in AFP due to HCC or benign liver disease, AFP-L3 can be used. It means that compared with the total AFP level, the AFP-L3 isoform seems to be more specific for diagnosing HCC.

What do you need to know about the afp-400?

The AFP-400 is a modular, intelligent Fire Alarm Control Panel (FACP) with an extensive list of powerful features. The CPU module, power supply module, and cabinet combine to create a complete fire control system for most applications such as commercial, residential and industrial buildings.

How many loops can an afp-300 panel handle?

The AFP-300 panel is capable of 1 loop and the AFP-400 is capable of 2 loops. Each of the panels can also accommodate up to 10 Annunciators, each can provide 32 x fully programmable LED indications, 16 x single pushbutton functions, 8 x relay outputs, remote LCD displays etc.

Is there a link between AFP and adverse outcomes?

Another study from China has also confirmed that AFP ≥ 400 ng/mL is independently associated with adverse outcomes. Based on prognostic stratification, the Hangzhou criteria were proposed, based on which, patients with total tumour diameter less than or equal to 8 cm, or total tumour diameter more than 8 cm]

What can an AFP submersible pump be used for?

AFP submersible pumps have been designed for the economic and reliable pumping of clear or wastewater, gaseous liquids, and for sewage and sludge, in fixed or portable applications. * For fixed, wet well applications the AFP is pedestal mounted.
