Frequently Asked Questions
What does the Fibrinogen Panel Profile measure?
It measures fibrinogen functional and antigen levels, D-dimer, and FDP to assess clotting capacity, fibrin formation, and fibrinolytic activity in one comprehensive screen.
Why are both functional and antigen fibrinogen tests done?
Functional fibrinogen (Clauss) measures clot-forming ability while antigen (LAFT) measures total fibrinogen protein. The ratio helps distinguish between hypofibrinogenemia and dysfibrinogenemia.
What causes elevated fibrinogen levels?
Elevated fibrinogen is an acute-phase reactant seen in inflammation, infection, pregnancy, trauma, surgery, and cardiovascular disease. It also increases with smoking and obesity.
What does a high D-dimer indicate?
Elevated D-dimer suggests active fibrin degradation, commonly seen in deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), and recent thrombolytic therapy.
Is fasting required for this test?
No, fasting is not required for the Fibrinogen Panel Profile. Sample can be collected any time of day.
