الوصف: Fibrinogen is a complex protein playing a major role in coagulation. Congenital afibrinogenemia, characterized by the complete absence of fibrinogen, is associated with major hemostatic defects. Even though the clinical course is unpredictable and can be completely different among patients, severe bleeding is the prominent symptom. Patients are also at increased risk of thrombosis and sometimes suffer from spontaneous spleen rupture, bone cysts and defective wound healing. Due to the relative rarity of afibrinogenemia, there are no evidence-based strategies for helping physicians in care of these patients. Fibrinogen supplementation is the keystone to prevent or treat bleeding events. In addition, fibrinogen, a pleiotropic protein with numerous physiological roles in immunity, angiogenesis and tissue repair, is involved in many diseases. Indeed, depletion of fibrinogen in animal models of infections, tumors and neurological diseases has an effect on the clinical course. The consequences for patients with afibrinogenemia still need to be investigated.
