Avail your Fibrinogen test from Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy, an advanced diagnostic centre with advanced technology, accredited by NABL and NABH. This is a test that is used to determine the concentration of a protein (fibrinogen) produced in the liver. It is crucial to facilitate the blood's normal clotting process, and it is used along with other coagulation tests to help assess bleeding and clotting problems.
What is Fibrinogen?
This is a type of test that is used to check blood clotting. In this test, a sample of blood is taken and sent to the lab for analysis to measure the level of fibrinogen in the blood. Results are then analyzed based on patient indications, medical history, clinical symptoms, and other appropriate exams.
Common Reasons for Fibrinogen
Liver Conditions: Lab testing for patients who have some liver diseases to determine fibrinogen levels.
Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC): Fibrinogen level monitoring if there is suspected or diagnosed DIC.
Inflammatory conditions: fibrinogen rises as an acute phase protein during inflammation
Preoperative assessment when a bleeding disorder is suspected or as advised by the surgeon
Monitoring patients who have been treated for clotting or bleeding conditions.
Conditions Evaluated
Bleeding Disorders
Insufficient fibrinogen may affect a person's blood clotting ability and cause excessive or delayed bleeding.
Clotting Disorders
High fibrinogen is associated with a higher risk of clotting and cardiovascular disease, but it also rises with inflammation, so it is interpreted with other tests and should be taken into account in conjunction with other factors and investigations.
Liver Disorders
Fibrinogen is made by the liver; some liver diseases may cause the production of less fibrinogen.
Inflammatory Conditions
Fibrinogen is an acute phase protein, a blood protein that can be elevated due to tissue injury, infection, or inflammation.

Book Your Fibrinogen Test
To schedule a Fibrinogen test appointment, please call Molecular Diagnostics and Therapy. If the patient is using any medicines, it is essential to alert the healthcare provider, particularly about blood-thinning medicines. Carry prescription and other documents indicating previous tests, and report of any type which may be related to the results, these will be helpful to the doctor in interpreting the results.
Test information: Fasting NOT needed
Reporting: Within 24 hours*
Fasting is usually not required before the Fibrinogen blood test.
Bring your doctor's prescription and previous blood test reports related to blood clotting, if available.
Inform the healthcare provider about all medicines you are taking, particularly blood-thinning medicines such as anticoagulants.
Do not stop or change any prescribed medication unless your doctor advises you to do so.
Inform the healthcare provider if you have a history of bleeding disorders, blood clots, liver disease, or any recent infection or inflammatory condition.
Mention any recent surgery, blood transfusion, or ongoing treatment that may affect blood clotting.
Follow any additional instructions provided by your doctor or the laboratory before sample collection.
फाइब्रिनोजन की रक्त जांच से पहले सामान्यतः उपवास रखने की आवश्यकता नहीं होती है।
अपने चिकित्सक की पर्ची और रक्त के थक्के बनने से संबंधित पिछली जांचों की रिपोर्ट, यदि उपलब्ध हो, साथ लाएं।
आप जो भी औषधियां ले रहे हैं, उनकी जानकारी स्वास्थ्यकर्मी को दें। विशेष रूप से रक्त को पतला करने वाली औषधियों के बारे में अवश्य बताएं।
चिकित्सक की सलाह के बिना अपनी निर्धारित औषधियां बंद न करें और न ही उनकी मात्रा में बदलाव करें।
यदि आपको पहले रक्तस्राव संबंधी समस्या, रक्त के थक्के बनने की समस्या, यकृत रोग या हाल ही में कोई संक्रमण अथवा सूजन संबंधी समस्या हुई है, तो इसकी जानकारी दें।
हाल ही में हुई शल्य चिकित्सा, रक्त चढ़ाने या रक्त के थक्के बनने की प्रक्रिया को प्रभावित करने वाले किसी उपचार के बारे में बताएं।
रक्त का नमूना देने से पहले चिकित्सक या प्रयोगशाला द्वारा दिए गए अतिरिक्त निर्देशों का पालन करें।
The patient is registered, and the required details are verified before sample collection.
A healthcare professional cleans the selected area, usually on the inner side of the arm, with an antiseptic solution.
A tourniquet may be applied around the upper arm to make the vein more visible.
A blood sample is collected from a suitable vein using a sterile needle and placed in an appropriate anticoagulant-containing collection tube, generally containing sodium citrate.
The collected sample is labelled correctly and sent to the laboratory for analysis.
The laboratory measures fibrinogen concentration, commonly using a clot-based method such as the Clauss assay.
The sample is processed under standard laboratory quality-control procedures, and the results are reviewed before the report is released.
