A simple gravimetric method for estimation of plasma fibrinogen. 1979

K K Saxena, and R K Srivastava, and V K Kulshrestha, and D N Prasad

The study was undertaken to evaluate a new method of estimating plasma fibrinogen levels, gravimetrically using calcium chloride in albino rats. The results were compared with the standard method in which thrombin was used as clotting agent and were found to be statistically not significant. Advantages of using calcium chloride instead of thrombin have been discussed.

D005340 Fibrinogen Plasma glycoprotein clotted by thrombin, composed of a dimer of three non-identical pairs of polypeptide chains (alpha, beta, gamma) held together by disulfide bonds. Fibrinogen clotting is a sol-gel change involving complex molecular arrangements: whereas fibrinogen is cleaved by thrombin to form polypeptides A and B, the proteolytic action of other enzymes yields different fibrinogen degradation products.
