Dysfibrinogenemia

Dysfibrinogenemia is a rare blood disorder where the body produces abnormal fibrinogen, a protein essential for blood clot formation. While the amount of fibrinogen may be normal, its faulty structure can impair proper clotting, leading to increased bleeding or, in some cases, abnormal clot formation. It’s often inherited but can also result from liver disease or certain conditions. Diagnosis involves blood tests that evaluate fibrinogen function and structure. Treatment depends on symptoms and may include medications to manage bleeding or clotting risks.
