The level of fibrinopeptide A should be in the range of 0.6 to 1.9 ng/ml.

Note: ng/ml = nanograms per milliliter; The range of normal values varies between laboratories, and the laboratory performing the test should therefore be consulted for interpretation of the test result.

Increased fibrinopeptide A levels may indicate:

• DIC
• Leukemia at the time of diagnosis, during early treatment, and during a relapse
• Cellulitis
• SLE
• Some infections
