Fibrinogen-related disorders

Fibrinogen-related disorders involve problems with fibrinogen, a protein in your blood essential for clot formation. If fibrinogen levels are too low or if the protein functions improperly, it can lead to bleeding issues, as blood doesn't clot effectively. Conversely, high levels may increase the risk of abnormal clotting, leading to complications like deep vein thrombosis. These disorders can be inherited or acquired and are diagnosed through blood tests. Treatment depends on whether there is bleeding or clotting risk, aiming to normalize fibrinogen levels and maintain proper blood clotting function.
