“…A number of recent case series and retrospective studies have indicated that fibrinogen concentrate is well tolerated and effective in arresting haemorrhage in patients with congenital and acquired hypofibriniogenaemia. [10][11][12][13][14][15] Furthermore, it appears to be effective in reversing dilutional coagulopathy following crystalloid and colloid administration during orthopaedic surgery. 16 We report the use of fibrinogen concentrate to rapidly correct hypofibrinogenaemia during six cases of obstetric haemorrhage with diverse aetiology.…”

“…The normal fibrinogen concentration ranges from 2.0 to 4.5 g/l [7]. Fibrinogen is synthesized in the rough endoplasmic reticulum of liver cells and secreted into the circulation through various processing, folding, and assembly maneuvers [8].…”
“…Since the fibrinogen consumption may be faster , fibrinogen concentrates should be administered for values above 1gm/L in DIC. 4 gm of fibrinogen concentrates, increase serum fibrinogen levels to 1gm/L (68) . In a study done on 30 patients with acquired hypofibrinogenemia, i.e.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
