Hereditary persistence of
alpha-fetoprotein (HPAF P): review of the literature.
In the setting of a pediatric testis mass with a normal
alpha-fetoprotein (AFP), an attempt at testis-sparing surgery is not oncological heresy.
Laboratory investigations demonstrated an elevated
alpha-fetoprotein blood level (204.0 nanograms per milliliter) and aspartate transaminase (304IU per liter), slightly normal alanine transaminase (40.8 IU per liter), positive hepatitis B surface antigen, a normochromic normocytic anemia (10 grams per deciliter), and low serum albumin level (32 grams per liter).
Considering amniocentesis for
alpha-fetoprotein and acetyl cholinesterase
Further blood tests were done and the most notable findings were as follows:
alpha-fetoprotein 10 148 pg/L; beta-human chorionic gonadotrophin 236 IU/L; alkaline phosphatase 369 U/L; gamma-glutamyl transferase 514 U/L; and aspartate transaminase 283 U/L.
