Alpha-Fetoprotein (AFP) in Blood
How To Prepare
You do not need to do anything before you have this test.
If you are pregnant, you will be weighed before the blood test, because the test results will be based on your weight. The test results are also based on race, age, and how many weeks you are in your pregnancy.
