How is high fibrinogen levels a risk factor for ischemia?

Fibrinogens are the proteins involved in blood clotting and plaque formation.


What is the function of the fibrinogens?

A protein produced by the liver and play as a key role in the inflammatory response. This protein helps stop bleeding by helping blood clots to form. Fibrinogen converted by thrombin into fibrin during blood coagulation.


What is the normal osmotic pressure in a human cell?

The normal osmotic pressure in a human cell is approximately 280 to 310 milliosmoles per kilogram. This pressure helps maintain the cell's shape and prevents excess water from entering or leaving the cell.


Why does fibrinogen increase in menstruation?

During pregnancy, levels of several essential coagulation factors increase.There are marked increases in fibrinogen and factor8. Factors VII, IX, X, and XII also increased but to a lesser extend. Fibrinolytic activity is depressed during pregnancy and labor, although the precise mechanism is unkown. The placenta may be partially responsible for this alteration in fibrinolytic status. Plasminogen levels increase concomitantly with fibrinogens levels, causing an equilibration of clotting and lysing activity.


What chemicals are in your blood?

Blood is cellular material (red blood cells, white blood cells, and plasma), water, amino acids, proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, hormones, vitamins, electrolytes, dissolved gases, and cellular wastes. The cellular material is 99% red blood cells (about 1/3 hemoglobin by volume). White blood cells and plasma (92% water with plasma proteins - the most abundant solutes being albumins, globulins, and fibrinogens. The primary blood gases are oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nitrogen.


What causes plasma cells to produce antibodies?

Yes. Blood plasma is blood serum with the fibrinogens. Serum includes all proteins not used in blood clotting (coagulation) and all the electrolytes, antibodies, antigens, hormones, and any exogenous substances (e.g., drugs and microorganisms).


What part of blood clots?

The part(s) of blood that clot blood are platelets. Platelets AND plasma proteins are responsible for clotting blood. The particular plasma protein responsible for clotting blood is fibrinogen. When you cut yourself or get a scrape or what have you, fibrinogens form long fibers that make long strands of fibrin. Fibrin, along with platelets, all clump together to form clumpy clots of blood help seal a wound. Amazingly, platelets also have within them somethings called actin and myosin which act kind of like natural stitches to pull the edges of the severed vessels back together and close small wounds. Of course simple little platelets and fibrinogen aren't enough for a big wound, for that, stitches are the best thing.
