Dɛn ne AFP sɔhwɛ tiawa?

Sɛ yɛbɛka no tiawa a, Alpha-Fetoprotein (AFP) nhwehwɛmu yɛ mogya mu nhwehwɛmu a ɛkyerɛ sɛnea protein bi a wɔfrɛ no AFP wɔ wo mogya mu.

Seesei ebia woresusuw sɛ, "Dɛn ne AFP protein yi?" Ɛyɛ mmerɛw yiye. Ɛyɛ protein a wo ba ketewa a ɔwɔ wo yafunu mu no mmerɛbo na ɛyɛ .

Wɔ nsɛm a ɛte sɛɛ mu no, asiane a ɛwɔ hɔ sɛ akokoaa no benya nsɛnnennen bi no yɛ kɛse, enti ɛho hia yiye sɛ wɔyɛ nhwehwɛmu yi.

Dɛn na sɔhwɛ ahorow yi rehwehwɛ?

AFP sɔhwɛ no te sɛ obi a ɔhwehwɛ nkurɔfo ho nsɛm mu. Ɛda akokoaa no akwahosan ho nsɛnkyerɛnne a ɛho hia pii adi. Momma yɛnhwɛ nea wɔyɛ.

Ɔkwan bɛn so na wɔyɛ sɔhwɛ no na dɛn na ɛsɛ sɛ misiesie me ho ma no?

Ɛho nhia sɛ wohaw wo ho wɔ eyi ho koraa. AFP nhwehwɛmu no yɛ mogya mu nhwehwɛmu a ɛyɛ mmerɛw yiye, a wɔyɛ no daa.

Sɛ yɛbɛka no pɛpɛɛpɛ a, wɔ lab no, ɔyarehwɛfo anaa oduruyɛfo bi begye mogya kakraa bi afi ntini bi a ɛwɔ wo basa mu mu . Egye nea ennu simma anum. Ebia nnipa binom suro kakra wɔ nnade ho.

Ɔkwan bɛn so na yɛbɛte nea afi AFP sɔhwɛ no mu aba no ase?

Eyi ne ɔfã a ɛho hia sen biara. Sɛ wunya wo AFP sɔhwɛ amanneɛbɔ a, mma nɔma no nnyɛ wo hu. Wo duruyɛfo wɔ hɔ sɛ ɔbɛboa wo ma woate ase.
