Fibrinogen Test

Fibrinogen Test – Greenville,

Symptoms like easy bruising, nosebleeds, prolonged bleeding after injury, heavy menstrual periods, or internal bleeding may prompt a fibrinogen test. This test measures fibrinogen levels, a key blood clotting protein. Conversely, elevated fibrinogen levels can indicate cardiovascular issues, presenting symptoms such as chest pain (angina), shortness of breath, leg pain or swelling (indicating deep vein thrombosis), or stroke signs like sudden weakness, numbness, and speech difficulties. Vital for diagnosing and monitoring clotting and cardiovascular conditions, the test guides tailored treatments involving medications or interventions.
