Site-Specific Factor 7

Pre-Orchiectomy Alpha Fetoprotein (AFP) Range

Notes

**Note 1:** Record the range of the alpha fetoprotein (AFP) test as documented in the patient record prior to orchiectomy and other treatment. **Note 2:** Use the same laboratory test to record values in **Site-Specific Factor 6, Pre-Orchiectomy Alpha Fetoprotein (AFP) Lab Value** and **Site-Specific Factor 7, Pre-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 pre-orchiectomy AFP test is unavailable but a physician's statement of the result is documented, use codes 991-993. **Note 5:** For rare cases that are treated prior to orchiectomy, use code 995 in this field and record the initial AFP range in **Site-Specific Factor 13, Post-Orchiectomy Alpha Fetoprotein (AFP) Range**. **Note 6:** For rare cases that an orchiectomy is not performed, use code 996 in this field and record the initial AFP range in **Site-Specific Factor 13, Post-Orchiectomy Alpha Fetoprotein (AFP) Range**.
