    (Centro Universitário da Fundação de Ensino Octávio Bastos, 2011-05-30) FALCÃO, Sara Carolina Fernandes; CABRAL, Mariana Barros Ruggero; VARZIM, Fernanda Leme Bastos
    In blood samples the cellular and liquid components can be separated by centrifugation. The extracellular or acellular fluid is called plasma. The primary plasma proteins are albumin, globulins and fibrinogen. The latter is a polypeptide belonging to the group of acute phase proteins produced in inflammatory and infectious conditions. As fibrinogen is an indicator of inflammatory processes, its dosage is useful for monitoring infections, being more constant than the number of leukocytes, as they undergo daily fluctuations. The work aims to show the importance of fibrinogen in laboratory tests of a horse that was treated at Hovet with acute abdomen syndrome.
