Clinical significance

Fibrinogen is a glycoprotein synthesised in the liver and by megakaryocytes. Increased levels are associated with inflammation, diabetes, obesity, pregnancy, etc.. Levels can fall in diffuse intravascular coagulation. Congenital afibrinogenaemia is very unusual but there are patients with hypofibrinogenaemia who are prone to haemorrhage (the severity of the bleeding symptoms is directly related to the plasma concentration of fibrinogen). Defective fibrinogen (inherited) may be suspected when a normal or nearly normal absolute fibrinogen concentration is measured in a patient whose blood takes longer than normal to clot. Bleeding symptoms (usually minor) and sometimes a tendency to thrombosis may be associated with defective fibrinogen.
