Fibrinogen is a protein produced by the liver that plays a central role in blood clot formation. Beyond clotting, elevated fibrinogen is an independent risk factor for heart attack and stroke — it reflects both inflammation and a hypercoagulable state. It rises during acute illness, chronic inflammation, smoking, and obesity. Monitoring fibrinogen alongside hs-CRP provides a more complete picture of cardiovascular inflammation.
Cardiovascular biomarkers identify hidden risk for heart attack and stroke years before symptoms appear, allowing for earlier intervention with diet, exercise, or medication.
Adults 35+ for routine cardio screening, anyone with family history of premature heart disease, and patients tracking response to statins, lifestyle changes, or other cardiovascular therapy.

If any values fall outside the normal range, your report will include guidance on what that may mean and recommended next steps. You'll receive an email notification when your results are ready, typically within 2–4 business days.

A Fibrinogen Activity test costs $22.99 at TestWell — $28.99 all-in when ordered alone, because the $6 lab processing fee is charged once per order, with no draw fee or physician fee added. Hospital outpatient labs typically bill around $125.00 self-pay for the same test, and often more. With insurance, what you pay depends on your deductible and your plan's negotiated rate; TestWell's price is fixed before the draw and is HSA/FSA-eligible.
