Frequently Asked Questions
Is fasting required for fibrinogen test?
No, fasting is not required. Fibrinogen levels are not significantly affected by recent food intake.
What does this test measure?
It quantifies functional fibrinogen, the protein essential for blood clot formation, using an optical clot-based method.
How is the sample collected?
Blood is drawn into a light blue top citrate tube; plasma is separated and tested within four hours of collection.
What conditions alter fibrinogen levels?
Inflammation, pregnancy, stress, and oral contraceptives can raise levels; liver disease and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) may lower them.
How long does it take to get results?
Turnaround time is typically same day or next day, depending on the lab schedule.
Can medications affect the result?
Anticoagulants like heparin may interfere; always inform your doctor about all current medications before testing.
