Congenital Afibrinogenemia
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Congenital afibrinogenemia is a rare hereditary bleeding disorder in which the body does not produce fibrinogen, a protein essential for the blood to form clots and stop bleeding.
How it presents: it may be noticed from an early age with prolonged bleeding, bruises that appear easily, or hemorrhages in response to wounds or procedures.
Why monitoring matters: by affecting a key step in coagulation, it requires careful follow-up and planning ahead of any intervention.
Which specialist treats it? it falls to the hematologist, with the involvement of the pediatrician when it is identified in childhood. If there is a family history of unusual bleeding or you experience it yourself, the most prudent thing is to consult a professional who can guide the appropriate workup.
