In normal full-term newborns and in healthy premature infants (30-36 weeks gestation) fibrinogen is near adult levels (>150) and reaches adult levels by less than 21 days postnatal.
Interpretation
This test assesses levels of functional (clottable) fibrinogen (see Cautions). Fibrinogen may be decreased in acquired conditions such as liver disease and acute intravascular coagulation and fibrinolysis and disseminated intravascular coagulation. Fibrinogen may be decreased in rare conditions including congenital afibrinogenemia or hypofibrinogenemia. Fibrinogen may be elevated with acute or chronic inflammatory conditions.
