fibrinogen antigen assay

The fibrinogen antigen assay is a blood test that measures the amount of fibrinogen protein in your bloodstream. Fibrinogen is essential for blood clotting, helping your body stop bleeding when injured. This test is used to evaluate clotting disorders, monitor certain conditions like liver disease, or assess overall blood health. The procedure involves drawing a small blood sample, which is then analyzed in a laboratory to determine the fibrinogen levels. Accurate measurement helps doctors understand if your fibrinogen is too high or too low, guiding appropriate diagnosis and treatment strategies.
