Does it matter if the alpha-fetoprotein is 7.6?

Fetoprotein is mainly a tumor marker for liver cancer, and its value of 7.6ng/ml is generally not important, but some liver cancers can be normal, so we can not rely on one item alone to evaluate the condition, but need to make a comprehensive evaluation. Alpha-fetoprotein is an important auxiliary diagnostic index for primary liver cancer, and its normal reference value is less than 25ng/ml. 7.6ng/ml of alpha-fetoprotein suggests that it is within the normal range. About 80% of liver cancer patients will have elevated alpha-fetoprotein in serum. If alpha-fetoprotein is found to be greater than 400ng/ml, combined with the history of liver diseases such as chronic hepatitis, it should be highly suspected to be primary liver cancer. However, there are also a small number of liver cancer patients whose alpha-fetoprotein is in the normal range, therefore, normal alpha-fetoprotein cannot completely exclude liver cancer, and it should be analyzed in combination with medical history, clinical manifestation and imaging examination. If the test result of alpha-fetoprotein is abnormal, or accompanied by other digestive symptoms such as nausea, loss of appetite, abdominal distension, etc., it is recommended to consult a doctor in time to identify the cause of the disease, and then carry out targeted treatment under the guidance of the doctor, so as to avoid delaying the condition.
