Fibrinogen concentrate used for congenital afibrinogenaemia and dysfibrinogenaemia

Description

Human fibrinogen concentrate is used for congenital afibrinogenaemia and dysfibrinogenaemia states for treatment of bleeding complications. It is also used in acquired hypofibrinogenemia conditions such as massive haemorrhage, acquired coagulopathy, liver disease with bleeding and in obstetric haemorrhage. The product should be licensed for these clinical indications and approved by the HPRA. Fibrinogen, in presence of thrombin, activates FVIII and calcium, which is necessary to convert fibrinogen into stable three-dimensional fibrin coagula. The IBTS is responsible for the distribution of fibrinogen to users nationwide. IBTS must therefore have a sufficient stock and a stable supply of fibrinogen concentrates to meet patient needs.
