Fibrinogen deficiency (dysfibrinogenemia)

Fibrinogen deficiency, also known as dysfibrinogenemia, is a blood disorder where the body either produces insufficient fibrinogen or produces abnormal forms of it. Fibrinogen is a protein crucial for blood clotting, helping wounds to heal by forming a stable clot. Individuals with this condition may experience abnormal bleeding or clotting issues, leading to easy bruising or excessive bleeding after injuries or surgeries. It can be inherited or acquired due to other health problems. Diagnosis involves blood tests, and treatment often focuses on managing symptoms and may include clotting factor replacement therapies.
