What does a high level of female fibrinogen indicate

The high level of female fibrinogen usually indicates that the body has inflammatory reaction, tissue damage or abnormal coagulation function, which may be related to physiological changes during pregnancy, infectious diseases, cardiovascular diseases and other factors. Fibrinogen is a key protein in the coagulation system, and its elevated levels require comprehensive evaluation in conjunction with other diagnostic indicators. Pregnant women may experience a physiological increase in fibrinogen levels, which is a natural preparation for the risk of bleeding during childbirth. Fibrinogen levels can gradually increase to higher levels in the middle and late stages of pregnancy, and will gradually return to normal after childbirth. In acute infections such as pneumonia and urinary tract infections, the body participates in inflammatory defense mechanisms by increasing fibrinogen levels, often accompanied by increased white blood cell counts. Patients with chronic inflammatory diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis may also experience persistent elevation of fibrinogen.

The risk of cardiovascular disease is associated with the level of fibrinogen, which is commonly increased in atherosclerosis patients. Fibrinogen can promote platelet aggregation and affect blood viscosity, and long-term high levels may increase the probability of thrombosis formation. Some patients with malignant tumors may experience abnormal elevation of fibrinogen, which is related to the secretion of procoagulant substances by tumor cells. Further investigation is needed in conjunction with tumor markers and other examinations. The elevation of fibrinogen in patients with severe trauma or surgery is a stress response of the body, usually gradually decreasing as the wound heals.

If fibrinogen is found to be high, a follow-up examination should be conducted to confirm the continuity of the results, and supporting tests such as blood routine, C-reactive protein, and D-dimer should be improved. Daily attention should be paid to observing for abnormal bleeding or thrombosis symptoms, controlling basic indicators such as blood pressure and blood sugar, and avoiding high-fat diet and prolonged sitting. It is recommended to conduct a thorough investigation of the cause under the guidance of a doctor, and if necessary, undergo anticoagulant or defibrillation treatment. Do not take drugs that affect coagulation function on your own.
