fibrinogen level testing

Fibrinogen level testing measures the amount of fibrinogen, a protein essential for blood clotting, in your blood. This test helps doctors assess your risk of bleeding or clotting disorders. Low fibrinogen levels can indicate conditions like liver disease or severe infection, while high levels may suggest inflammation, pregnancy, or an increased risk of thrombosis. The test is usually done with a blood sample, and results help guide treatment decisions or further investigations regarding blood-related health issues.
