No Evidence for Genome-Wide Interactions on Plasma Fibrinogen by Smoking, Alcohol Consumption and Body Mass Index: Results from Meta-Analyses of 80,607 Subjects [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Plasma fibrinogen is an acute phase protein playing an important role in the blood coagulation cascade having strong associations with smoking, alcohol consumption and body mass index (BMI).

Risk Factors for Postoperative Fibrinogen Deficiency after Surgical Removal of Intracranial Tumors.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2015
Higher levels of fibrinogen, a critical element in hemostasis, are associated with increased postoperative survival rates, especially for patients with massive operative blood loss.

The Effect of Reagents Mimicking Oxidative Stress on Fibrinogen Function

open access: yesThe Scientific World Journal, 2013
Fibrinogen is one of the plasma proteins most susceptible to oxidative modification. It has been suggested that modification of fibrinogen may cause thrombotic/bleeding complications associated with many pathophysiological states of organism.

Correlation Between ROTEM FIBTEM Maximum Clot Firmness and Fibrinogen Levels in Pediatric Cardiac Surgery Patients

open access: yesClinical and Applied Thrombosis/Hemostasis, 2019
This study evaluated whether rotational thromboelastometry (ROTEM; Tem International GmbH, Munich, Germany) FIBTEM maximum clot firmness (MCF) can be used to predict plasma fibrinogen level in pediatric patients undergoing cardiac surgery.

C-Reactive Protein, Fibrinogen, and Cardiovascular Disease Prediction [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
BACKGROUND: There is debate about the value of assessing levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) and other biomarkers of inflammation for the prediction of first cardiovascular events.

Plasma fibrinogen [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of Clinical Biochemistry: International Journal of Laboratory Medicine, 2004
Fibrinogen is the major plasma protein coagulation factor. Low plasma fibrinogen concentrations are therefore associated with an increased risk of bleeding due to impaired primary and secondary haemostasis. Fibrinogen is a classical positive acute-phase reactant protein and is an independent predictor of coronary heart disease events.

Effect of L-NAME on the Synthesis of Plasma Fibrinogen in Mice

open access: yesJournal of Pharmacological Sciences, 2005
The effect of nitric oxide (NO) on plasma fibrinogen was investigated by treating mice with oral NG-nitro-L-arginine-methyl ester (L-NAME), a non-selective NO synthase (NOS) inhibitor.

Variations on fibrinogen-erythrocyte interactions during cell aging. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2011
Erythrocyte hyperaggregation, a cardiovascular risk factor, is considered to be caused by an increase in plasma adhesion proteins, particularly fibrinogen.

Novel heterozygous dysfibrinogenemia, Sumida (A alpha C472S), showed markedly impaired lateral aggregation of protofibrils and mildly lower functional fibrinogen levels [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Introduction: We encountered a 6-year-old girl with systemic lupus erythematosus. Although no bleeding or thrombotic tendency was detected, routine coagulation screening tests revealed slightly lower plasma fibrinogen levels, as determined by functional ...
