Fibrinogen is a protein essential for blood clot formation. It is also an inflammatory biomarker associated with cardiovascular disease and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). Along with other cardiac risk markers, such as hs-CRP, it can help to determine a person’s risk of cardiovascular disease.

Pregnancy and acute inflammatory processes can temporarily increase fibrinogen. In this case, fibrinogen levels should return to normal by themselves once the underlying condition has been resolved.
This test requires a blood draw, which can be done at your local clinic. It will be analysed by an accredited lab, such as Karolinska, Aleris or Unilabs. The first results are usually available within 48h.
What happens next?
The lab sends the results to your personal dashboard, with comments from both a doctor and a nutritionist. If results are abnormal, we recommend seeing a doctor and, if appropriate, booking an appointment with a Nordic Wellth nutrition lifestyle specialist.
