Answer
Hello! Please answer the question: "AFP test results are 12.5 ng/dl, but the results of liver enzymes, anti-HBs 102 U/l hepatitis C are normal?" As follows:
AFP is a marker of liver cancer, it will have diagnostic value if it is higher than 200 ng/dl. Your results cannot tell if you have liver cancer. You will need an ultrasound of the liver, followed by a liver CT/MRI if needed to evaluate for a liver tumor. You can go to the hospitals of Vinmec Health System for more specific advice from doctors. Best regards!
