Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ's):
What is the Fibrinogen test?
This test measures the amount of fibrinogen, an essential protein involved in blood clot formation, in your citrated plasma sample.
Why is the Fibrinogen test done?
It helps diagnose bleeding disorders, clotting abnormalities, liver-related issues, and conditions like DIC. Metropolis Healthcare often recommends it as part of coagulation assessment.
How is the sample collected?
A blood sample is drawn into a citrate tube, which preserves the clotting factors for accurate testing.
Do I need to fast before the test?
No fasting is required for a fibrinogen level test.
What do low fibrinogen levels indicate?
Low levels may indicate liver dysfunction, DIC, inherited fibrinogen disorders, or excessive bleeding risk.
What do high fibrinogen levels mean?
High levels may be seen in inflammation, pregnancy, infections, or increased cardiovascular risk.
How long does it take to get results from Metropolis Healthcare?
Results are usually available within a short turnaround time, depending on the processing schedule at Metropolis labs.
Is this test part of a larger coagulation panel?
Yes, fibrinogen testing is often included with other clotting tests such as PT, aPTT, and D-dimer when evaluating bleeding or clotting issues.
