High fibrinogen refers to a higher than normal level of fibrinogen, a clotting factor, found in the body when a plasma fibrinogen assay test is performed.
Fibrinogen, also known as coagulation factor I, is a precursor of fibrin and is involved in blood clotting activities in the body. Increased fibrinogen can be seen in diabetes, rheumatism, nephrotic syndrome, acute myocardial infarction, extensive burns, multiple myeloma, acute infections, malignant tumors and other diseases. In addition, some of the elderly may also have the manifestation of increased fibrinogen.
Fibrinogen increase mostly suggests that there are abnormalities in the blood clotting system, and should immediately go to the local hospital to clarify the cause of the disease, and then deal with it in a timely and standardized manner under the guidance of professional doctors.
