Description
The Fibrinogen Degradation Product (FDP) test is a specialized blood test that measures the presence and level of fibrin degradation products in the bloodstream. These products are formed when blood clots break down. The test is crucial for diagnosing and monitoring various blood clotting disorders, particularly disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Elevated FDP levels can indicate excessive clot formation and breakdown, which may occur in conditions such as severe infections, trauma, or certain cancers. By providing insight into the body’s clotting and fibrinolytic systems, the FDP test helps healthcare providers assess the severity of clotting disorders and guide appropriate treatment strategies.
