Fibrinogen concentration test

The fibrinogen concentration test measures the level of fibrinogen, a protein in your blood that helps with clotting. When you have an injury, fibrinogen converts into fibrin to form a stable clot, preventing excessive bleeding. Doctors use this test to assess bleeding disorders, check liver function, or monitor conditions that affect clotting. Abnormal levels can indicate health issues such as inflammation, liver disease, or blood clots. The test is usually done with a blood sample and helps guide treatment decisions to ensure proper management of bleeding or clotting disorders.
