AbstractFibrinogen is critically important in haemostasis. The concentration of fibrinogen in plasma is usually between 2 and 4 g/l (6-13 micromol/l). No detectable fibrinogen is found in afibrinogenaemia, a condition characterised by dramatic bleeding, while dys- and hypofibrinogenaemia have a lower-than-normal activity of functional fibrinogen. Acquired fibrinogen deficiency may occur with a variety of underlying pathologies. Fibrinogen substitution may be done with fresh-frozen plasma, cryoprecipitate and virally inactivated concentrates of fibrinogen.
