fibrinogen level

What Causes High Fibrinogen Levels?

Elevated fibrinogen levels, or hyperfibrinogenemia, can be attributed to:
Inflammation: Acute or chronic inflammatory conditions can increase fibrinogen production as part of the body's response.
Infection: Bacterial, viral, or fungal infections can cause elevated levels.
Cancer: Certain types of cancer, especially those affecting the liver, can lead to high fibrinogen levels.
Pregnancy: Fibrinogen levels naturally rise during pregnancy to prepare the body for potential bleeding during childbirth.
