Biology:Fibrin monomer

From HandWiki

Fibrin monomers are monomers of fibrin which are formed by the cleavage of fibrinogen by thrombin.[1] Levels of fibrin monomers can be measured using blood tests and can serve as a marker of in vivo fibrinogenesis and coagulation activation.[1][2][3] They may be useful in the evaluation hypercoagulability.[1] Levels of fibrin monomers may be increased with pregnancy[1] and by estrogen-containing combined birth control pills.[2]
