The formation of monomers, fibrinogen beta, and fibrinogen alpha is insoluble fibrin matrix. fibrin works as a binding or trapping agent in the coagulation process, which creates blood clot. For small wounds, the polymerized fibrin with platelets forms a hemostatic plug over the wounds site. Fibrin is also anti inflammatory which it protects against IFNG- mediated hemorrhage. Afibrinogenemic pregnant patients will result in spontaneous miscarriage. Fibrinogen supplemental will allow the patients to sustain the pregnancy, therefore, maternal fibrinogen plays a important role for successful pregnancy.[Iwaki T, Castellino FJ. Maternal fibrinogen is necessary for embryonic development. Curr Drug Targets. 2005 Aug;6(5):535-9. doi: 10.2174/1389450054546006.
