    Hepatitis B and alpha-fetoprotein:
    When AFP was 2.
    08, its sensitivity and specificity for judging significant liver inflammation in CHB patients were 89.
    8% and 88.
    3%, respectively, higher than the sensitivity of ALT

    Liver cancer and alpha-fetoprotein
    HCCHCC When alpha-fetoprotein (AFP)>20μg/L, combined with B-ultrasound, CT and other examinations, early detection of HCC can be taken, timely treatment can be taken, and survival time can be prolonged
    .

    HCC usually uses AFP of 20 μg/L as the pathological threshold for diagnosing HCC, and AFP>400 μg/L as the reliable threshold for HCC
    .
    Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA)
