Overview

Fibrinogen is a protein made by your liver that converts into fibrin when you are injured, forming the mesh that holds blood clots together and stops bleeding. Measuring fibrinogen levels tells you two things: how well your clotting system is working, and whether your body is dealing with inflammation.

As an acute-phase reactant, fibrinogen rises when your body responds to infection, injury or chronic inflammatory conditions. Persistently elevated levels are also associated with increased cardiovascular risk. Low fibrinogen can indicate liver dysfunction, inherited clotting disorders, or conditions like disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC).

Symptoms

Suited to people with bleeding or bruising concerns, cardiovascular risk factors, inflammatory conditions, liver health questions, or those needing a clotting function assessment before medical procedures.

Questions

  • Normal fibrinogen levels typically range from 2 to 4 g/L. Levels below 1.5 g/L may increase bleeding risk, while levels above 4 g/L may be associated with increased clotting risk.
  • Yes. Anticoagulants and fibrinolytic drugs can lower fibrinogen, while oral contraceptives, hormone replacement therapy and some other medications can raise levels.
  • Fibrinogen is an acute-phase reactant that increases during inflammation, infection or tissue damage.
  • Low levels can result from inherited deficiencies, severe liver disease, DIC, certain cancers, malnutrition, or medications that affect clotting.
  • Temporary elevations during illness or inflammation are a normal immune response. Persistently high levels are worth discussing with your doctor.
  • Testing frequency depends on why you are being tested. For bleeding disorders, regular monitoring may be needed.

How to prepare

No fasting required. Let the pathology staff know about any medications you take, particularly anticoagulants, anti-platelet drugs or fibrinolytic medications.

After the test

Your healthcare provider can advise on next steps based on your result. Low fibrinogen may need further investigation. Elevated fibrinogen may prompt cardiovascular risk assessment or investigation of inflammatory conditions.

Your test results will be available in your private dashboard. If there are any urgent issues, we'll let you know so you can follow up with your health professional.

Understanding results

Results show your fibrinogen level compared to the reference range (typically 2 to 4 g/L). Low levels may suggest increased bleeding risk or liver dysfunction. Elevated levels may indicate inflammation, infection or increased cardiovascular risk.

Simple health checks in my control

I didn't know that private blood tests were an option. Tried this platform as the packages suited what I wanted for a good price. Easy to follow instructions, and super quick results. Platform provides more information than my gp's ever have on the tests and what the results meant. Would like more clinics to be able to test at (specifically Capital Pathology) but there is a decent network. Will continue to use.

If your test needs fasting, we’ll include that in your instructions after you order. Fasting usually means no food for 8–12 hours, but water is fine.

Just your pathology referral form (we email it to you)

Of course. Just maybe don’t bring the friend who faints at the sight of blood.
