Fibrinogenetic

/ˌfɪbrɪnoʊdʒɪˈnɛtɪk/ adjective

Definition

Relating to the production or formation of fibrinogen; describing processes that generate fibrinogen.

Etymology

From 'fibrinogen' combined with '-genetic' (from Greek 'genesis' meaning origin or production). The '-genetic' suffix indicates something that produces or creates something else.

Kelly Says

Your liver is fibrinogenetic—it constantly produces fibrinogen, your body's clotting reserve, and if your liver fails, you can't make enough fibrinogen, which is why liver disease patients often bleed dangerously.
