What is FIB in blood tests?
FIB Measurement
Low: Below 200mg/dL
High: Above 400mg/dL
About Fibrinogen
Fibrinogen is a blood clotting protein and inflammation marker.
The reasons for low FIB
Low fibrinogen levels are often seen in liver disease, genetic conditions, or excessive blood thinning. Ensuring proper protein intake and addressing liver function can help.
The reasons for elevated FIB
High fibrinogen suggests inflammation or increased clotting risk. A diet rich in omega-3s and exercise can help regulate fibrinogen levels.
Is it bad too have too high/low FIB?
Persistently low fibrinogen increases the risk of excessive bleeding and impaired wound healing.
Elevated fibrinogen promotes excessive blood clot formation, increasing the likelihood of strokes, deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and cardiovascular disease. It may also indicate an ongoing inflammatory response in the body.
