Alpha-fetoprotein 5.96 μg/L is within the normal range. Alpha-fetoprotein is a substance synthesized by the fetal liver, and also synthesized in small amounts in the yolk sac or mucous membranes of the gastrointestinal tract and the kidneys. It can be used in pregnant women to evaluate whether the fetus has ventral cleft, anencephaly, chromosomal abnormalities, etc., and in adults, alpha-fetoprotein can be used to evaluate whether the fetus has liver disease or gastrointestinal tract disease. Alpha-fetoprotein is mainly used for cancer such as liver cancer and other tumors, in which its normal value is about 0~25μg/L, 5.96μg/L is within the normal range, so it is a normal situation. If so if you suspect you have liver disease or digestive tract disease then you need to go to the hospital for further examination.
