Site-Specific Factor 12

Post-Orchiectomy Alpha Fetoprotein (AFP) Lab Value

Notes

**Note 1:** Record the value 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:** Record a post-orchiectomy AFP of 20 nanograms/milliliter (ng/ml) as 002; record a post-orchiectomy AFP of 11,000 ng/ml as 200. **Note 4:** Code 000 is reserved for exactly 0.0 ng/ml (no measurable amount of AFP). Do not round tiny values down to 0.0 ng/ml; any measured value less than or equal to 0.1 ng/ml should be coded 001. * For values greater than 001 ng/ml, round values to the nearest ng/ml **Note 5:** A lab value expressed in micrograms/liter (ug/L) is equivalent to the same value expressed in ng/ml. **Note 6:** 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 7:** If the post-orchiectomy AFP test is done but the actual value is not stated, use code 997. **Note 8:** For rare cases that are treated prior to orchiectomy or an orchiectomy is not performed, code the initial AFP lab value in this field and not in **Site-Specific Factor 6, Pre-Orchiectomy Alpha Fetoprotein (AFP) Lab Value**.
