Fibrinogen Activity LabCorp

Testing your fibrinogen activity helps identify if your blood is clotting properly, which can explain why you might be experiencing excessive bleeding or clotting issues. This test can help determine the cause of symptoms like easy bruising, heavy periods, and nosebleeds, especially if there's a family history of clotting problems. Defy Medical offers this test to provide insights into your blood's clotting function.

Finding the cause(s) of:

• Bleeding easily: This test measures fibrinogen, a key protein for blood clotting, helping to identify if low levels or function are causing excessive bleeding.
• Blood clots: Abnormal fibrinogen levels or function can contribute to unwanted blood clot formation, which this test helps to evaluate.
• Bruising easily: Problems with fibrinogen can affect blood vessel integrity and clotting, potentially leading to easy bruising.
• Family history of clotting: This test can help investigate potential inherited clotting disorders if there is a family history.
• Heavy periods: Abnormal clotting function related to fibrinogen can sometimes contribute to unusually heavy menstrual bleeding.
• Nosebleeds: Issues with blood clotting, which fibrinogen plays a role in, can manifest as frequent or severe nosebleeds.
