Coagulation Factor I

Coagulation Factor I, also known as fibrinogen, is a protein in your blood essential for blood clotting. When you bleed, fibrinogen is converted into fibrin, which forms a mesh that stabilizes blood clots and helps stop bleeding. It’s produced by the liver and circulates in your bloodstream. Proper levels of fibrinogen are important for wound healing; too little can lead to excessive bleeding, while too much might increase the risk of blood clots. Monitoring its levels helps diagnose and manage bleeding or clotting disorders.
