This article presents a case of congenital afibrinogenemia, which presented as cellulitis on the face. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In some laboratories, the routine workup for the bleeding neonate may not always include fibrinogen assays, which may then delay this diagnosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Diagnostic tests should be performed by a specialist at a hemophilia/bleeding disorders treatment centre. Treatment There are three treatments available for factor I deficiency. All are made from human plasma. [wfh.org]

Treatment may also be given to prevent the formation of blood clots, as this complication can occur after replacement therapy. Many people who have hypofibrinogenemia or dysfibrinogenemia may not need treatment. [rarebleedingdisorders.com]

Complications may include: Blood clots with treatment Development of antibodies (inhibitors) to fibrinogen with treatment Gastrointestinal bleeding Miscarriage Rupture of the spleen Slow healing of wounds Call your provider or seek emergency care if you [nlm.nih.gov]

Hemostatic treatment for splenic rupture using heat- and solvent detergent-treated fibrinogen concentrates was effective. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis Prognosis is good for patients with congenital dysfibrinogenemias. Events of bleeding or thrombosis are usually relatively mild. Acquired dysfibrinogenemia carries a worse prognosis because it is due to a severely damaged liver. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Prognosis Although life-threatening intracranial hemorrhage may occur, prognosis of afibrinogenemia is good with early diagnosis and adequate treatment. Prognosis of hypo- or dysfibrinogenemia is usually good. [orpha.net]

[…] frequent than afibrinogenemia, but prevalence is difficult to establish due to the large number of asymptomatic patients Sites Bleeding of skin and mucosa, joint and muscle, genitourinary tract, gastrointestinal tract, CNS (see clinical features below) Etiology [pathologyoutlines.com]

The abnormal fibrinogen in these patients forms a fibrin clot that is resistant to fibrinolysis by plasmin. [6] Etiology Congenital dysfibrinogenemias are most often inherited in an autosomal dominant or codominant fashion. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Etiology Congenital deficiencies of fibrinogen are caused by mutations in the FGA, FGB, or FGG genes. Afibrinogenemia is autosomal recessive; hypofibrinogenemia and dysfibrinogenemia are mainly autosomal dominant. [orpha.net]

This practical text covers disorders of thrombosis and hemostasis in a logical and sequential manner: etiology, pathophysiology, clinical and laboratory diagnosis, and management. [books.google.com]

Epidemiology Congenital dysfibrinogenemia has been reported in only 200-300 families. Transmission is autosomal dominant or codominant, except in a few cases that appear to be transmitted recessively. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Excessive menstrual bleeding in women with factor I deficiency may be controlled with hormonal therapy (oral or local) and drugs that prevent breakdown of blood clots (anti-fibrinolytic drugs). [rarebleedingdisorders.com]

In addition, expression of Bbeta, gamma and angiopoietin-2 chimeric molecules demonstrated that the betaC domain prevents the secretion of single chains and complexes, whereas the gammaC domain allows their secretion. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
