Article Abstract
Background: Fibrinogen concentration is an important indicator of the treatment for obstetric disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). We present how using the fibrinogen measuring device could solve problems in the treatment of postpartum hemorrhage with complicated DIC.
Case Presentation: A 32-year-old woman with monochorionic diamniotic twins at 22 weeks of pregnancy was diagnosed with placental abruption and underwent emergent cesarean section. The estimated blood loss was 8375 g. She was transferred to our hospital for further treatment. Compressive uterine sutures and balloon tamponade were performed. We transfused fibrinogen and fresh frozen plasma actively during the operation to maintain plasma fibrinogen above 200 mg/dL by using a point-of-care fibrinogen measuring device. In spite of massive hemorrhage exceeding 10 L, she was extubated at the end of the operation and discharged on the 7th day after the operation.
Conclusion: The portable fibrinogen measuring device was useful for point-of-care assessment of obstetric DIC.

Prediction of Fetal Growth Restriction Using Serum PlGF Combined with PAPP-A in Early Pregnancy.
Int J Womens Health
September 2025
Department of Obstetrics, The First Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Medical University, Nanning, Guangxi, 530021, People's Republic of China.
Objective: This study aimed to assess the predictive capacity of placenta growth factor (PlGF) and pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A) levels in the serum of pregnant women during early pregnancy (11-13 weeks) for fetal growth restriction (FGR).
Patients And Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted involving 1602 pregnant women who gave birth at The Second Nanning People's Hospital between March 2018 and September 2019. Serum concentrations of PlGF and PAPP-A were measured during early pregnancy for all participants.
Overall hemostatic potential as a marker of subclinical hypercoagulability in treated psoriasis patients.

Faculty of Medicine, University of Ljubljana, Ljubljana, Slovenia.
Background: Psoriasis is associated with increased cardiovascular risk, possibly mediated by inflammation-induced hemostatic dysregulation and hypercoagulability. However, these changes are often difficult to detect with conventional markers.
Objectives: To assess hypercoagulability in patients with psoriasis using the Overall Hemostatic Potential (OHP) test, a global integrative test for coagulation and fibrinolysis.
Relationship of vitamin D, fibrinogen and their ratio with acute coronary syndrome: A comparative analysis of unstable angina, NSTEMI, and STEMI.

Cardiovascular Department, Faculty of Medicine, Al-Azhar University, Cairo, Egypt.
Background: There is emerging evidence suggesting that vitamin D and fibrinogen play contrasting roles in ACS pathophysiology and their combined impact, expressed as the vitamin D/fibrinogen ratio, can be a potential biomarker for ACS severity. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between vitamin D, fibrinogen, and their ratio with ACS types, and assess their potential as risk stratification biomarkers.
Methods: This multicenter observational study was conducted in tertiary care hospitals in Afghanistan, Egypt, and Pakistan, including 300 ACS patients.
ROS-induced modifications of fibrin clots connect immune responses to atherothrombosis in systemic lupus erythematosus.

Department of Experimental and Clinical Biomedical Sciences "Mario Serio", University of Firenze, Italy.
Objective: Cardiovascular events are major determinants of morbidity and mortality in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), particularly in patients with renal involvement. While oxidative stress has been implicated in driving vascular and renal damage in SLE, the specific mechanisms remain unclear. This study investigated the potential role of oxidative stress-induced alterations in fibrinogen structure and function in the pathogenesis of atherothrombosis in SLE.

Introduction: In rheumatoid arthritis, which is an autoimmune inflammatory disease with multisystemic involvement, especially the joints, tracking disease activity is quite valuable in order to improve the quality of life of patients and to develop individualized treatment strategies. In this study, we evaluated the role of Fibrinogen-Like Protein 1 (FGL1), which has recently been shown to be associated with various rheumatological and autoimmune diseases, in disease diagnosis and activity in rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
Material And Methods: In this prospective study consisting of 108 RA patients divided into two groups as low disease activity-remission group (LDA) and moderate-high disease activity group (MHA) according to the Disease Activity Score 28-C-reactive protein score and 56 controls, serum FGL1 level was measured by Enzyme Linked ImmunoSorbent Assay (ELISA).
