Fibrinogen is a protein made by the liver that helps your blood form clots. A fibrinogen blood test measures how much fibrinogen is in your blood.
Typical adult range: about 200–400 mg/dL (2.0–4.0 g/L), though the laboratory's reference range may differ.
Low fibrinogen can be associated with excessive bleeding and may occur with severe liver disease, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), certain inherited disorders, or severe blood loss.
High fibrinogen can occur with inflammation, infection, injury, pregnancy, or other conditions because fibrinogen is an acute-phase protein.
If you have a specific fibrinogen result, send me the value, unit (e.g., mg/dL or g/L), reference range, and age/sex, and I can explain what it means.
