1. Summary Alpha-fetoprotein [AFP] is a protein normal made by the yolk sac, intestines and liver of a developing foetus.

In this article we will point out problems clinicians may face while getting results of AFP levels out of physiological range in pregnancy (Figure 1) and levels out of range in different organ systems.
