Hyperfibrinogenemia as a Risk Factor for Sudden Hearing Loss

Abstract

Because elevated plasma fibrinogen plays a major role in cardiovascular diseases such as myocardial infarction and stroke, it is possible that this plasma protein is also involved in the pathogenesis of sudden hearing loss of vascular origin. More research is still required to determine the value of measuring plasma fibrinogen levels in clinical practice and identifying hyperfibrinogenemia in sudden hearing loss.
