Hello and welcome to HCM,
High levels of alpha feto protein occur in malignancies of liver, germ cell tumors and liver cirrhosis.
The CT scan report is showing presence of a liver growth along with background changes of cirrhosis.
Thus, these two are potential causes of alpha feto protein.
Surgical excision of the primary liver tumor will help to reduce the levels of alpha feto proteins.
Consult your treating doctor for further management.
Thanks and take care
