Hereditary deficiency of factor I (Q39582): Difference between revisions

Congenital deficiencies of fibrinogen are coagulation disorders characterised by bleeding symptoms ranging from mild to severe resulting from reduced quantity and/or quality of circulating fibrinogen. Afibrinogenaemia (complete absence of fibrinogen) and hypofibrinogenaemia (reduced plasma fibrinogen concentration) correspond to quantitative anomalies of fibrinogen while dysfibrinogenaemia corresponds to a functional anomaly of fibrinogen. Hypo- and dysfibrinogenaemia may be frequently combined (hypodysfibrinogenaemia).
