Description
Alpha-1-acid glycoprotein (AGP, orosomucoid) is one of the main "acute phase" proteins. Its concentration in blood serum can increase 3-4 times during inflammatory processes, infections, and malignant neoplasms. Monitoring AGP over time makes it possible to assess the course of the inflammatory process and diagnose recurrence after surgical treatment of tumors. The test is used as a prognostic factor for the development of heart failure after myocardial infarction, as well as for the detection of hemolysis (together with haptoglobin).
