pubmed-article:52948 | pubmed:abstractText | This study confirms essentially the results of other investigators who found a good correlation between fetal risk and maternal AFP level. This adds an immuno-chemical technique to well-known methods of monitoring risk-pregnancies (ultra-sound, HPL, estrogenes) which enables us to measure a specific fetal metabolic product, alpha-feto-protein, in amniotic fluid, umbilical blood and maternal serum. | lld:pubmed |
