A member asked:
Could colitis cause high fibrinogen and clumped platelets?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Ulcerative colitis is a chronic inflammatory condition, and as such, can increase platelet production and fibrinogen. However, seeing these elevations are not very specific to uc and can be present in any type of inflammation, including infection.
