ALPHA-FETOPROTEIN IN PREGNANCY

Abstract

This letter presents a comparison of maternal serum alpha fetoprotein (AFP) levels in 2 groups of pregnant women of various parity at any stage of pregnancy. A total of 130 serum samples from primipara and multipara women were compared by radioimmunoassay; 64 sera were from primipara and 66 from multipara. Average AFP concentrations were for primipara at 5-13 14-28 29-39 weeks and term respectively: 5 ng/ml 98.1 215.8 and 98.6. AFP levels in multipara for the same respective gestation periods were: 5 62.2 170.6 and 95.6 ng/ml respectively. No significant difference was seen between the maternal serum AFP levels in the 2 groups at any stage of pregnancy.
