Fibrinózus

Fibrinózus is a descriptive term used in medicine to denote the presence of fibrin, a protein crucial for blood clotting. When a tissue or surface is described as fibrinózus, it indicates that a layer or deposit of fibrin has formed on it. This often occurs in response to inflammation or injury. Fibrin is a mesh-like network that helps to trap blood cells and platelets, forming a clot. In pathological conditions, this fibrin deposition can be a sign of various inflammatory processes, such as in serous membranes (like the pleura or pericardium) during conditions like pleuritis or pericarditis. It can also be seen in the context of infections, where the inflammatory exudate may contain significant amounts of fibrin. The appearance of fibrinózus deposits can vary, ranging from thin, delicate films to thicker, more organized layers. While fibrin deposition is a normal part of wound healing, its presence in inappropriate locations or in excessive amounts can be indicative of disease and may require medical attention. The term is essentially a descriptor of a physical finding observed during medical examination or on pathological specimens.
