Inflammatory
Fibrinogen
A blood-clotting protein that also serves as an acute-phase inflammatory marker.
Optimal Range
200-300 mg/dL (optimal) · > 400 mg/dL (elevated)
Why It Matters
Elevated fibrinogen increases blood viscosity and clotting tendency, contributing to both cardiovascular events and stroke risk. It rises with chronic inflammation and aging.
