6Possible Risks of the Fibrinogen Blood Test
The fibrinogen blood test may post minimal risks. These would include:
– Minor bruising or discomfort at the needle area.
– Swelling at the affected vein, but it is very rare. You can relieve the symptom by applying a warm compress.
– Infection at the punctured site, characterized by the formation of pus and red swelling.
– Persistent bleeding, especially when you have a bleeding condition or when you are taking blood thinners, such as aspiring or warfarin. [9]
