Altho I don't know: the units used to measure your fibrinogen, I can say in general that it isn't diagnosed by the fibrinogen level itself but rather by fibrinogen's ability to clot or prevent clotting in a normal time period. Technology now allows us to analyze the structure of fibrinogen & even the genes that cause the condition. Personal history & family history are also important in making the diagnosis.
