The presence of fibrin in the blood; an elevated level of fibrin circulating in the bloodstream.
From 'fibrin' combined with '-emia' (from Greek 'haima' meaning blood). Medical terms use '-emia' to indicate presence of something in the blood, like 'glycemia' for glucose or 'toxemia' for toxins.
Fibrinemia can indicate serious conditions like disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), where the body's clotting system goes into overdrive and starts forming clots everywhere—doctors monitor fibrin levels in blood tests to catch this life-threatening situation early.
