FDP (FIBRINOGEN DEGRADATION PRODUCTS) Test

What is the FDP (FIBRINOGEN DEGRADATION PRODUCTS) Test?

After a blood clot dissolves, fibrinogen or fibrinogen degradation products (FDP) are discovered in the bloodstream. Fibrin is a protein that is found in the blood. It aids in the coagulation process. Fibrin particles are released into the body when a blood clot and fibrin disintegrate. Fibrinogen degradation products are these particles. To check for a clotting issue, an FDP test is used to assess the level of FDP. Deep vein thrombosis, renal disease, leukaemia, stroke, and pulmonary embolism (blockage in the central artery of the lungs) are all checked.

Why Done? 

The fibrin degradation products test may be ordered to see if you have any of the following health problems:

• leukaemia 
• kidney disease
• pulmonary embolism (a blockage in the central artery of the lung) 
• stroke

If you have additional clotting abnormalities or your doctor suspects you have disseminated intravascular coagulation, the test may be conducted (DIC).

Procedure: 

You'll have blood extracted from an arm vein. 

How does one prepare for the test? 

No preparation is needed. Tell your doctor if you're using barbiturates, heparin, or any other blood clot-dissolving medication. These factors may influence the test and raise FDP levels.

Required Documents for FDP Test:

• Doctor prescription. 
• A valid government ID.

After Care: 

Leave the dressing strip on for 15 minutes. No particular type of care is required.
