Fibrinogen: A Vital Protein in Stopping and Preventing Bleeding

Fibrinogen is a crucial protein in humans that plays a vital role in stopping and preventing bleeding. One of its most significant functions is in the formation of robust clots that protect against life-threatening causes of death in young age groups, such as maternal death due to peripartum haemorrhage (PPH) and exsanguination due to trauma-induced coagulopathy (TIC).

This protein is also essential in securing patient outcomes during and after major surgical procedures in all age groups. In this regard, understanding the pathophysiology of fibrinogen and its use in various medical scenarios is crucial.
