Question 1 of 1
1. Question
A nurse suspects that a client, admitted with upper right-sided abdominal pain, may have liver cancer when which serum laboratory test result is noted to be elevated?
Correct
Answer & Rationale:
ANSWER: 2
Serum -fetoprotein is a major serum protein synthesized by fetal liver cells, by yolk track cells, and in small amounts the fetal gastrointestinal system. Reappearance of AFP in adults signals pathological problems. In 50% to 75% of clients with liver cancer, serum AFP levels are elevated. Elevated creatinine and phosphorus are symptoms of kidney failure. CA-125 is a tumor marker for ovarian cancer.
