FIBRIPHEN 2

Description

Thrombin reagent proposed for the quantitative determination of fibrinogen in human citrated plasma using a clotting method (Clauss method).

Intended use

• Measurement of fibrinogen in plasma.
• Detection of low fibrinogen concentrations.
• Detection of elevated fibrinogen concentrations (> 4g/L): In clinical situations associated with inflammation
• Risk factor for cardiovascular disease and thrombosis
• Hypofibrinogenemia, mainly associated with severe liver disease, and excessive consumption of fibrinogen (DIC, hyperfibrinolysis).
• Numerous variants of fibrinogen described, associated to asymptomatic cases, or to cases with bleeding and/or thrombosis.
