What is the fibrinogen test used for?

The fibrinogen blood test is used to determine how effectively the protein fibrinogen — also known as coagulation factor I — operates in the blood and to evaluate its levels. The factor I (fibrinogen) test is also known as the serum fibrinogen test or the functional fibrinogen test.

What is included in the fibrinogen test?

Fibrinogen testing entails the following:

A fibrinogen activity test measures the rate at which soluble fibrinogen is transformed into fibrin threads during the clotting process. It determines how long it takes for a fibrin clot to form when a standard quantity of thrombin is introduced to your blood sample (plasma). The quantity of active fibrinogen present directly corresponds with the time it takes for a clot to develop. Prolonged clot formation periods may be caused by low levels of normal fibrinogen or by fibrinogen that does not act properly (dysfunctional).
A fibrinogen antigen test determines the amount of fibrinogen in a blood sample, which includes both functional and dysfunctional fibrinogen.

Procedure for the fibrinogen test

You will be asked to supply a blood sample for the test. Whenever you need to observe any special instructions, such as discontinuing medication before doing the test, your doctor will let you know. ‌

Inform your doctor about all of the medications, vitamins, and supplements you are taking. If you use herbs or other natural supplements, they should be mentioned as well.

A needle linked to a syringe will be used to take blood from a vein in your arm during the test. When the needle is inserted, you will feel a pricking sensation that will not be overly painful and will not last long. The entire procedure is normally completed in a matter of minutes.

If you are nervous about taking blood or using needles and syringes in general, speak with your healthcare provider so that they can make you feel more at ease throughout the test.

When the test is completed, you will be told of the findings and how to obtain them.

How to prepare for the fibrinogen test?

This test requires a blood sample, but no extra preparation is necessary unless the doctor specifies otherwise. People using particular medications, such as blood thinners, may be advised to discontinue them. It is preferable to wear comfy clothing with sleeves that can be readily pulled up to allow for a simple blood draw from the arm. Please confirm with the physician and the lab technician if there are any special procedures that must be followed.

How much does the fibrinogen test cost?

The cost of a Fibrinogen Test in India ranges from 378 to 600 in 20 different locations. Among the metro cities, Delhi has the lowest pricing for the Fibrinogen Test. In Delhi, a fibrinogen test costs ₹ 378. At 1550, the market price was substantially higher. Among the metro cities, Bangalore/Bengaluru appears to be the most costly city in India for the Fibrinogen Test. In Bangalore/Bengaluru, a fibrinogen test costs 600 rupees.

If you schedule a Fibrinogen Test with us, the average cost is 378 in India, the average market price is substantially higher, at 1550.

Disclaimer: The value varies based on location, time, and your preferred lab partner.

How long does it take to get the results for a fibrinogen test?

You can expect to get the results for the fibrinogen test within 24 to 48 hours after the sample is collected. However, in certain cases, depending on the location, medical advice and preferred lab partner, it may take longer.

What do abnormal fibrinogen test results indicate?

Fibrinogen levels should be between 200 and 400 mg/dL. A fibrinogen reading of less than 50 mg/dL may indicate that you are at risk of bleeding following surgery. A fibrinogen score of more than 700 mg/dL may indicate that you are at risk of clotting, which might hurt your heart or brain.

Abnormal outcomes might be caused by:

The body consumes an excessive amount of fibrinogen, as in disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC)
A lack of fibrinogen (from birth, or acquired after birth)
Fibrin degradation (fibrinolysis)
Excessive bleeding (hemorrhage)

If the placenta separates from its connection to the uterine wall during pregnancy, the test may be conducted (placenta abruption).

Disclaimer: Please consult with your doctor for the test reports.

Is fibrinogen a definite test?

Total clottable fibrinogen tests are the gold standard for measuring plasma fibrinogen. They are, however, time-consuming and are rarely used in clinical practice.

Yes, the test is supported by experts who perform this test on a regular basis since the test involves only taking blood out of the arm of the person. It is suggested you undergo the test if you notice any symptoms, as this will indicate having any blood related disorders. Having an optimum level of fibrinogen in the body becomes essential for the person to survive.

How to read the fibrinogen test report?

An adult’s typical fibrinogen levels vary between 200 and 400 milligrams/deciliter. If they are more than 700 milligrams/deciliter, you are more likely to develop blood clots that can go to your brain, lungs, or heart, causing harm. You might also have an infection, inflammation, cancer, arthritis, renal illness, a heart attack, or a stroke, or you could be pregnant.

If your fibrinogen levels are fewer than 50 milligrams/deciliter, you are more likely to experience severe bleeding following surgery. You may also have liver illness, cancer, malnutrition, DIC, hereditary or congenital (existing at birth) blood clotting abnormalities, and require regular blood transfusions.

Why do you book the fibrinogen test?

This test is recommended when a person has persistent or unexplained hemorrhage, thrombosis, or other symptoms that indicate a problem with blood clotting. This test result’s normal reference range is 200 to 400 mg/dL (2.0 to 4.0 g/L). Low fibrin activity may be caused by inadequate or malfunctioning fibrinogen, in which case further testing may be needed. Chronically low levels may suggest decreased fibrinogen production as a result of illnesses such as afibrinogenemia or hypofibrinogenemia, end-stage liver disease, or severe malnutrition. Acutely low levels may suggest fibrinogen consumption, as in disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and aberrant fibrinolysis. Acute infections, coronary heart disease, pregnancy, stroke, trauma, cancer, and other conditions cause elevated levels. People with excessive levels are more likely to develop cardiovascular disease over time.

Testing at home – how does it work?

The test is just like any other blood test. A lab technician visits your home when you book your tests through the MFine app. The lab technician first cleans the arm and then inserts a needle into a vein. The required amount of blood is then taken into a vacutainer. The lab technician then removes the needle and places cotton wool or a bandage over the prick.

Testing at home – how does it work?

Are there any risks involved with the fibrinogen test?

There is little danger in getting your blood drawn. The size of veins and arteries varies from person to person and from one side of the body to the other. It may be more difficult to get a blood sample from some people than from others.

Other minor dangers linked with having blood collected include:

Bleeding excessively
Fainting or feeling dizzy
Multiple punctures are used to find veins.
A haemorrhage (blood accumulating under the skin)
Infectious disease (a slight risk any time the skin is broken)

People with bleeding issues are the most likely candidates for this test. Excessive bleeding is significantly more likely in such people than in those who do not have bleeding difficulties.

What can affect the results of the fibrinogen test?

The test results can be affected if blood is drawn improperly. You may also receive inaccurate lab details if any error occurs and wrong readings are entered in the table; it is to be understood that there are humanely chances that would affect the results of several placement tests but the diagnostics aren’t done by experts.

What is the purpose of a fibrinogen test?

A fibrinogen activity test measures the rate at which soluble fibrinogen is transformed into fibrin threads during the clotting process. It determines how long it takes for a fibrin clot to form when a standard quantity of thrombin is introduced to your blood sample (plasma).

What is blood clotting?

It is a process in which some specific proteins and platelets help stop the bleeding by forming a clot.

What does a high fibrinogen level mean?

Elevated fibrinogen levels raise the chance of blood clots, which can lead to an increased risk of heart disease. High fibrinogen levels are linked to an increased risk of heart disease, blood vessel malfunction, and stroke.

What is a healthy fibrinogen level?

The typical range is between 200 and 400 mg/dL (2.0 and 4.0 g/L). Normal value ranges may change slightly between laboratories. Some laboratories take various measures or test different specimens.

Is fibrinogen present in high concentrations during pregnancy?

During pregnancy, fibrinogen levels are much greater than in the non-pregnant population.

What's the distinction between fibrin and fibrinogen?

Fibrinogen and fibrin are not identical. Fibrinogen is a protein that may be detected in blood plasma. It is involved in the production of blood clots and transforms to fibrin under the action of the thrombin enzyme. Fibrin is a non-globular protein that is generated from fibrinogen and is involved in blood coagulation.
