What does it mean if your fibrinogen is high?

FIB is the English abbreviation for fibrinogen, and fibrinogen is a coagulation factor. A high blood coagulation FIB value means that the blood is in a hypercoagulable state, and thrombus is easily formed.

After the human coagulation mechanism is activated, fibrinogen becomes fibrin monomer under the action of thrombin, and fibrin monomer can aggregate into fibrin polymer, which is helpful for the formation of blood clot and plays an important role in the coagulation process.

Fibrinogen is mainly synthesized by hepatocytes and is a protein with coagulation function. Its normal value is between 2~4qL. Fibrinogen is a coagulation-related substance, and its increase is often a non-specific reaction of the body and is a risk factor for thromboembolism-related diseases.
Coagulation FIB value can be increased in many diseases, common genetic or inflammatory factors, high blood lipids, blood pressure

High, coronary heart disease, diabetes, tuberculosis, connective tissue disease, heart disease, and malignant tumors. when suffering from all of the above diseases may lead to the occurrence of blood clots. Therefore, a high blood coagulation FIB value refers to a state of high blood coagulation.

High fibrinogen level means that the blood is in a state of hypercoagulability and is prone to thrombosis. Fibrinogen is also known as coagulation factor I. Whether it is endogenous coagulation or exogenous coagulation, the final step of fibrinogen will activate fibroblasts. Proteins are gradually intertwined into a network to form blood clots, so fibrinogen represents the performance of blood coagulation.

Fibrinogen is mainly synthesized by the liver and can be elevated in many diseases. Common genetic or inflammatory factors include high blood lipids, high blood pressure, coronary heart disease, diabetes, tuberculosis, connective tissue disease, heart disease, and malignant Tumors will rise. After major surgery, because the body needs to perform hemostasis function, it will also stimulate the increase of fibrinogen for hemostasis function.
