Abstract

Summary

Serial, successive determinations of the fibrinogen content are valuable tools in the management of hypofibrinogenemia syndromes. A detailed description is given of the FPT-test, which has been demonstrated to be a simple and accurate method for serial quantitation of the normally-reactive fibrinogen.
