Acquired dysfibrinogenemia occurs as a known or presumed consequence of an underlying disease which directly or indirectly interferes with the clotting function of fibrinogen. Individuals with acquired dysfibrinogenemias have a greater tendency for bleeding complications than those with congenital fibrinogenemia.[1][18][19] The following Table gives some abnormalities, causes, and apparent pathophysiology along with some comments on examples of acquired dysfibrinogenemia.[4][4]
