1103. Fibrinogen
Description
Fibrinogen is a protein that is the basic factor of the blood coagulation system. Converting into fibrin, it ensures the formation of a blood clot (thrombus) and helps to stop bleeding, in addition, it is able to bind excess thrombin, preventing excessive thrombosis.
Abnormal fibrinogen levels can lead to thrombosis or bleeding.

It is better to study it in combination with other indicators of the blood coagulation system, for example, packet number 282 or coagulogram.

- assessment for violations of hemostasis (bleeding or thrombosis);
- preoperative examination and postoperative period;
- examination during pregnancy in different trimesters;
- congenital or acquired fibrinogen deficiency (a- / hypo- / dysfibrinogenemia);
- monitoring of thrombolytic therapy.
