Individual tests

AFP is a type of tumor marker produced by cancer cells or normal cells in response to cancer. High levels of AFP can indicate cancer of the liver, ovaries, or testicles. However, other non-cancerous conditions can also increase AFP levels, so this test alone can't fully diagnose cancer.
Albumin is a protein produced by your liver. It helps keep fluid from leaking from your blood vessels into other tissue. Without enough albumin, fluid can leak out of your blood and build up in your lungs, abdomen (belly), or other parts of your body. Albumin also carries hormones, vitamins, and enzymes. Low albumin levels can indicate liver or kidney disease or a lack of protein.
