HCB, LDH, AFP and inhibin levals

[confused in arizona]

Hi everyone,
My doc just called me and she talked to they GYNO-ONO and suggested that I have these blood test done to determine the solid component on my solid ovary.  Has anyone ever heard of these before?  I did take the CA-125 blood test but that was really low I think it was a 13 or 17.

Let me know if any of you has taken the above blood test and what was the outcome!

AFP?   I think that is the test done to determine if a woman's fetus might be born with problems like Down's Syndrome.

Have you looked for information about your general medical/early menopausal situation on the HysterSister's site (www.hystersisters.com) ?

I was advised to have my inhibin levels checked when granulosa cell tumor was suspected, as a CA-125 may show normal levels for this type of cancer.

What is a granulosa cell tumor?

In regards to the AFP, women who are pregnant may have this test done but also men and women w/ certain types of cancers will have this done as well.  Serotoli Leydig Cancer is one of them.
