Fibrinogen Degradation Products (FDP) test detects breakdown products of fibrin, helping assess clotting disorders and diagnose conditions like DIC.
The Fibrinogen Degradation Products (FDP) Test measures the presence of fragments produced when fibrinogen, a blood clotting protein, is broken down in the body. FDPs are a result of fibrinolysis, the process that dissolves blood clots. Elevated FDP levels can indicate abnormal clotting activity, often associated with conditions such as disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), deep vein thrombosis (DVT), and pulmonary embolism (PE). This test helps diagnose and monitor these conditions, providing critical information for managing bleeding or clotting disorders.
The FDP Test detects and measures fibrin degradation products in the blood, which helps evaluate High FDP levels suggests increased clot breakdown, and is often seen in conditions like DIC or severe infections. Elevated FDPs may be present in cases of thrombosis, such as DVT or PE. Patients receiving clot-dissolving therapy may undergo this test to monitor their response to treatment.
The FDP Test is often recommended for individuals with symptoms or conditions linked to abnormal blood clotting, including Especially in those with signs of bleeding in multiple areas or prolonged bleeding times. Such as symptoms of DVT (leg pain, swelling) or PE (shortness of breath, chest pain). This test can help diagnose and monitor DIC in critically ill patients. Additionally, patients on anticoagulant or fibrinolytic medications may need this test to assess treatment effectiveness.
Diagnopein provides comprehensive FDP testing using advanced laboratory equipment and highly skilled staff. The center maintains a clean, hygienic environment and emphasizes accurate and timely results, ensuring you receive reliable diagnostic information. With Diagnopein’s commitment to patient-centered care, you can trust in the precision and quality of your FDP testing experience.
FDP results help diagnose and monitor clotting disorders like DIC and thrombotic events. Elevated levels indicate increased clot formation and breakdown.
No, but both are related. FDP measures broader fibrin breakdown products, while D-dimer specifically measures a byproduct of clot breakdown. Both tests are often used together.
Results are typically available within a day, though timing may vary based on the laboratory's schedule.
No special preparation is required, but inform your healthcare provider of any medications you are taking, especially anticoagulants.
