Fibrinogen

Monitor your blood clotting function with our Fibrinogen test. This important analysis measures fibrinogen levels, a crucial protein involved in blood clot formation, providing insights into bleeding disorders, cardiovascular risk, and inflammatory conditions that may affect your clotting system.

Experiencing unusual bleeding patterns, have cardiovascular risk factors, or want to assess your blood clotting function for medical planning and health optimization?

Overview

Think of ferritin as your body's iron warehouse manager – a protein that carefully stores and tracks your iron reserves like a meticulous inventory system. Just as a warehouse manager knows exactly how much stock is available, ferritin tells us whether your body has enough iron stored away for essential daily operations like carrying oxygen through your bloodstream, powering your energy production, and keeping your cells functioning smoothly. When ferritin levels are too low, it's like having empty shelves in your iron warehouse, which can leave you feeling exhausted, weak, or short of breath because your body doesn't have enough iron to do its job properly.

The Ferritin test gives you a clear snapshot of your iron storage status by measuring this warehouse manager protein in your blood, helping explain why you might be experiencing fatigue, weakness, or other concerning symptoms. Low ferritin levels typically signal iron deficiency (which can lead to anemia), while unusually high levels might indicate your body is storing too much iron or dealing with inflammation. This test is particularly valuable if you're experiencing unexplained tiredness, have heavy menstrual periods, follow dietary restrictions that limit iron intake, or want to monitor how well iron supplements are working – giving you the insights needed to optimize your energy levels and overall health.

Symptoms

You may benefit from this test if you experience:
Chest pain or tightness Heart palpitations or racing heart Chronic inflammation markers on blood tests Cardiovascular risk assessment

Purpose

Essential for individuals with bleeding disorders, cardiovascular disease risk, inflammatory conditions, liver disease, or anyone requiring coagulation system assessment.

How to prepare

No special preparation required. Inform healthcare provider of all medications, especially anticoagulants, anti-platelet drugs, or fibrinolytic medications. Blood sample collected by trained phlebotomist at collection centre. Fasting not required.

Understanding results

Results show fibrinogen levels in mg/dL or g/L compared to normal ranges (typically 200-400 mg/dL). Low levels suggest bleeding risk or liver dysfunction. High levels indicate inflammation, cardiovascular risk, or thrombotic tendency.

After the test

Low fibrinogen requires investigation for underlying causes and bleeding precautions. High fibrinogen may need cardiovascular risk assessment and anti-inflammatory interventions. Work with hematologists or cardiologists for comprehensive management.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Normal fibrinogen levels typically range from 200-400 mg/dL (2-4 g/L). Levels below 150 mg/dL may cause bleeding problems, while levels above 400 mg/dL may increase clotting risk.
  • Yes, anticoagulants, fibrinolytic drugs, and some chemotherapy agents can lower fibrinogen, while oral contraceptives, hormone replacement therapy, and certain medications can raise levels.
  • Fibrinogen is an acute-phase reactant that increases during inflammation, infection, or tissue damage. Chronic inflammatory conditions often maintain elevated fibrinogen levels.
  • Low levels can result from inherited deficiencies, severe liver disease, DIC, certain cancers, malnutrition, or medications that affect clotting.
  • Not necessarily. Temporary elevations during illness or inflammation are normal. Persistently high levels, especially with other cardiovascular risk factors, warrant evaluation and possible intervention.
  • Testing frequency depends on the underlying condition. For bleeding disorders, regular monitoring may be needed. For cardiovascular risk assessment, periodic testing as part of comprehensive evaluation.
