Objective: The occurrence of hypofibrinogenemia after tocilizumab treatment has attracted increasing attention, which may cause bleeding and even life-threatening. This study aims to explore the risk factors for tocilizumab-induced hypofibrinogenemia (T-HFIB) and construct a risk prediction model.
Methods: A total of 221 inpatients that received tocilizumab from 2015 to 2023 were retrospectively collected and divided into T-HFIB group or control group.

Quantitative fibrinogen disorders, including afibrinogenemia and hypofibrinogenemia, are defined by the complete absence or reduction of fibrinogen, respectively. The diagnosis is based on the measurement of fibrinogen activity and antigen levels, which define the severity of this monogenic disorder. Afibrinogenemia is the result of homozygosity or combined heterozygosity for the causative mutations, whereas monoallelic mutations lead to hypofibrinogenemia.

Background: Congenital hypofibrinogenemia, a quantitative fibrinogen disorder, is characterized by abnormally low levels of both functional and antigen fibrinogen. We identified a heterozygous nonsense mutation, p.Arg17Stop, in the fibrinogen Bβ chain of a three-month-old female infant.

Congenital dysfibrinogenemia (CDF) is the most common type of congenital fibrinogen disorders, characterized by dysfunctional fibrinogen. Its prevalence is significantly underestimated due to the absence of obvious clinical symptoms in most patients. In addition to bleeding manifestations, patients with CDF may experience thrombotic events or pregnancy-related complications.

Background: Congenital dysfibrinogenemia is characterized by reduced fibrinogen activity, but normal immunoreactive fibrinogen levels. Here, we present a novel case with an elevated risk of thrombosis.
Methods: Coagulation assays, gene analysis, in silico tools, sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE), fibrin polymerization, thrombin generation assay, and electron microscopy scanning were utilized to elucidate the pathogenic mechanism.
