Hi Bunny,
Non-maternal AFP tests can be ordered as a diagnostic aid for HCC (primary liver cancer), and have no bearing on whether or not a patient is infected with Hep C. An AFP score of 2 is wonderful- I was told by my doctor that a patient can have significantly higher results without cancer being present. In the same breath, he said that result of 500 generally means there is something going on. You can research this further at:
