In cases of severe bleeding, transfusions may be necessary. D. Dysfibrinogenemia Fibrinogen is the molecule that will eventually become fibrin, the major blood clotting protein. Fibrinogen is produced in the liver and bone marrow and released into the blood and eventually becomes fibrin. Dysfibrinogenemia is produced by an inherited problem in fibrinogen production. Abnormal fibrinogen is produced, leading to clotting problems in some individuals.
Diagnosis is made based on patient and family history, physical examination, and laboratory testing.
