γ' Fibrinogen as a Predictor of Survival in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

γ' Fibrinogen as a Predictor of Survival in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is an aggressive neurodegenerative disorder related to neuroinflammation that is associated with increased risk of thrombosis. We aimed to evaluate γ' fibrinogen plasma level (an in vivo variant of fibrinogen) as a biomarker in ALS, and to test its role as a...
