fibrinogen activity assay

A fibrinogen activity assay measures how well fibrinogen, a protein in your blood, functions in forming blood clots. Fibrinogen is essential for stopping bleeding by converting into fibrin, which creates a clot. The test checks if your fibrinogen works properly, especially if you have bleeding problems or clotting disorders. It involves drawing a blood sample and adding substances that trigger clot formation, then measuring how quickly and effectively the fibrinogen forms a clot. This helps doctors diagnose issues with blood clotting and guide appropriate treatment.
