Post-Orchiectomy Alpha Fetoprotein (AFP) Range

Notes

**Note 1:** Record the range of the alpha fetoprotein (AFP) test as documented in the patient record after orchiectomy and prior to further treatment. **Note 2:**  Use the same laboratory test to record values in **Site-Specific Factor 12, Post-Orchiectomy Alpha Fetoprotein (AFP) Lab Value** and **Site-Specific Factor 13, Post-Orchiectomy Alpha Fetoprotein (AFP) Range**. **Note 3:** A lab value expressed in micrograms/liter (ug/L) is equivalent to the same value expressed in nanograms/milliliter (ng/ml). **Note 4:** If the initial post-orchiectomy AFP test remains elevated, review the subsequent tests until normalization or plateau occurs and use that test to code this field. **Note 5:** If the post-orchiectomy AFP test is unknown but the preorchiectomy AFP test was normal, use code 990. **Note 6:** If the post-orchiectomy AFP test is unavailable but a physician's statement of the result is documented, use codes 991-993. **Note 7:** For rare cases that are treated prior to orchiectomy or an orchiectomy is not performed, code the initial AFP range in this field and not in **Site-Specific Factor 7, Pre-Orchiectomy Alpha Fetoprotein (AFP) Range**.
