# Hereditary hypofibrinogenemia: A rare cause of chronic liver disease

## TL;DR

A rare genetic condition called hereditary hypofibrinogenemia caused chronic liver disease in a young child.

## Contribution

This case report highlights a rare manifestation of hereditary hypofibrinogenemia as chronic liver disease.

## Key findings

- A 2-year-old male with hereditary hypofibrinogenemia presented with elevated liver enzymes.
- The patient also exhibited skin and soft tissue bleeding, indicating fibrinogen deficiency.
- This case suggests a possible link between hypofibrinogenemia and chronic liver disease.

## Abstract

Hypofibrinogenemia is characterized by low levels of fibrinogen with patients commonly presenting asymptomatically. This report discusses a case of hereditary hypofibrinogenemia manifesting as chronic liver disease in a 2‐year‐old male who was evaluated for elevated liver enzymes and skin/soft tissue bleeding.
