Plasma fibrinogen is most commonly measured using the modified Clauss method,7 or the prothrombin time (PT)-derived method. These tests usually take 30 to 60 minutes before results are available.
How is fibrinogen level measured?
The most commonly used laboratory method for measuring fibrinogen is the Clauss fibrinogen assay. The Clauss fibrinogen assay is a quantitative, clot-based, functional assay. The assay measures the ability of fibrinogen to form fibrin clot after being exposed to a high concentration of purified thrombin.
