Plasma Fibrinogen
A plasma fibrinogen test measures fibrinogen, a clotting protein that also rises with inflammation. In cows and buffaloes it is commonly used as a sign of inflammation, and in dogs and cats it adds to clotting and illness checks.

What this test checks
- The amount of fibrinogen, a clotting protein, in the liquid part of the blood
- A general sign of inflammation, used especially in cows and buffaloes
- A clue to clotting problems when the level is low
When your vet may advise it
- A cow or buffalo with fever, poor appetite or dullness without a clear cause
- Suspected wire injury of the stomach or another hidden inflammation in livestock
- A dog or cat with bleeding, bruising or a serious illness where clotting is a worry
- Repeat checks your vet uses to see whether inflammation is going down
About this test
Fibrinogen is a protein made by the liver. It helps blood form a clot, and the body makes more of it during inflammation, the body's response to infection or injury. In cows and buffaloes, a raised level is a commonly used sign of inflammation, such as from a swallowed wire, pneumonia or a womb infection, and it may rise even when the white cell count looks ordinary. In dogs and cats, a low level may be seen when clotting is being used up or the liver is badly affected. The result is not specific for one disease, so a registered veterinarian interprets it with the examination and the animal's history.
How to prepare
Blood is usually collected in an EDTA or citrate tube, and a citrate tube must be filled exactly to its marked line. The lab confirms the method, sample needs and reporting time when you book.

Before you book this test
Why this notice: so you know, before you book, how a test is done, what its limits are and who is responsible.
- Where it is tested. Some tests are done wholly or partly by an independent partner laboratory. The lab tells you before booking if this test is sent out, and the report names the laboratory that did it.
- What a result can and cannot tell you. No test is right every time. A normal result does not rule out every disease, and an abnormal result does not prove one. A registered veterinarian should read the report with the animal’s signs and history before any treatment is started, changed or stopped.
- The sample. A sample that is clotted, too small, wrongly labelled, leaking or too old may be rejected or reported with a note, and the lab may ask for a fresh one.
- Reporting time. Confirmed when you book. Times are estimates, not guarantees, and the lab confirms the time when you book.
- Emergencies. A booking or a pending report must not delay urgent care. If an animal has collapsed, struggles to breathe, has fits or bleeds heavily, call a veterinarian at once.
