Fibrinogen
Overview
Fibrinogen is the precursor form of fibrin, which is a protein that helps your blood clot. It is made by your liver and helps to form blood clots that stop bleeding. During coagulation, fibrinogen is converted to fibrin and forms a mesh that helps to stabilize blood clots.
This test helps determine whether your blood contains enough fibrin, which is essential for effective clot formation. This helps to ensure proper wound healing and prevents excessive bleeding. If you have high levels of fibrin in your blood, it could be a sign of bleeding or a thrombotic disorder.
Frequently Asked Questions
The Fibrinogen Plasma test measures the concentration of fibrinogen, a protein essential for blood clot formation, in the plasma. This assessment helps evaluate clotting function and diagnose conditions related to abnormal clotting or bleeding.
The Fibrinogen Plasma test is performed to evaluate blood clotting function. It helps diagnose bleeding disorders, assess thrombotic risk, monitor liver disease, and evaluate response to treatment, guiding clinical management and ensuring optimal patient care.
The Fibrinogen Plasma test is recommended for individuals suspected of bleeding disorders, liver disease, or monitoring thrombotic risk. It's also used preoperatively, during pregnancy, or for patients on anticoagulant therapy. Those with family history or symptoms of clotting abnormalities may also undergo testing.
Abnormal results from the Fibrinogen Plasma test may indicate various conditions, such as bleeding disorders or thrombotic events. Further diagnostic evaluation, management, and treatment are typically guided by the specific underlying cause identified through the test results.
During the Fibrinogen Plasma test, a blood sample is collected from a vein, usually in the arm. The sample is then analyzed in a laboratory to measure the concentration of fibrinogen in the plasma.
