Amaphrojekthi okuthola i-Alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) abalulekile ekusetshenzisweni kwemitholampilo, ikakhulukazi ekuhlolweni nasekuxilongweni komdlavuza wesibindi kanye nezinkinga zokuzalwa komntwana osanda kuzalwa.

Ezigulini ezinomdlavuza wesibindi, ukutholwa kwe-AFP kungasetshenziswa njengesibonakaliso sokusiza sokuxilonga umdlavuza wesibindi, okusiza ekutholakaleni nasekulashweni kusenesikhathi. Ngaphezu kwalokho, ukutholwa kwe-AFP kungasetshenziswa futhi ukuhlola ukusebenza kahle kanye nokubikezela komdlavuza wesibindi. Ekunakekelweni kwangaphambi kokubeletha, ukuhlolwa kwe-AFP kusetshenziselwa futhi ukuhlola ukukhubazeka okungenzeka kokuzalwa komntwana, njengokukhubazeka kwe-neural tube kanye nokukhubazeka kodonga lwesisu. Ngamafuphi, ukutholwa kwe-alpha-fetoprotein kunenani elibalulekile lokuhlolwa kwezokwelapha kanye nenani lokuxilonga.

Lapha sigxila ekusungulweni kwezobuchwepheshe, sithuthukisa ama-reagents okuhlola i-POCT kanye namathuluzi, futhi sisebenzisa iziteshi ezikhona ukuze sandise imakethe yezokwelapha, ngenhloso yokuba ngumholi emkhakheni we-POCT yokuxilonga ngokushesha.Ikhithi yokuhlola i-Alpha-fetoproteinngokunemba okuphezulu kanye nokuzwela okuphezulu, kungathola umphumela wokuhlolwa ngokushesha, ofanele ukuhlolwa.
