What is Fibrinogen?
Fibrogen, also known as fibrinogen, is a blood protein essential for the clotting process. It helps in the formation of blood clots, which are necessary to stop bleeding after an injury.
Why test/check Fibrinogen levels?
Testing fibrinogen levels can be useful for assessing the clotting status of the blood. This is particularly helpful in individuals with an increased risk of blood clotting disorders, such as those with hereditary conditions, during pregnancy, or prior to surgical procedures. It also aids in evaluating the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
What does it indicate?
The fibrinogen level in the blood can indicate various health conditions. Normal levels are essential for proper blood clotting, while abnormal levels may point to blood clotting disorders or elevated risks of cardiovascular diseases.
What does a high fibrinogen level mean?
A high level of fibrinogen may indicate an increased risk of thrombosis (blood clots) and is associated with a greater risk of cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction and stroke.
What does a low fibrinogen level mean?
A low fibrinogen level can indicate a risk of excessive bleeding, as the body may not be able to form blood clots effectively. This can occur with certain liver diseases, during some infections, or as a side effect of certain medications.
