Fibrinogen (factor I)

We remind you that independent interpretation of the results is unacceptable, the information provided below is for reference purposes only.

Fibrinogen (coagulation factor I) is a plasma protein synthesized in the liver that plays a key role in blood clotting. Under the action of thrombin, fibrinogen is converted into fibrin, which forms the structural basis of a blood clot.

Measurement of fibrinogen levels is used to assess the hemostatic system, the risk of bleeding and thrombosis, as well as inflammatory activity in the body.

Indications

• assessment of blood coagulation
• preoperative evaluation
• increased risk of thrombosis
• unexplained bleeding
• liver diseases
• inflammatory and infectious conditions
• monitoring during pregnancy
• monitoring anticoagulant therapy

Procedure

Venous blood collection is performed from a vein in the procedure room. The procedure takes a few minutes.
