D-Dimer Test

The D-dimer test is a blood test that helps in the diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). D-dimer is a protein fragment that is produced when a blood clot dissolves in the body. The D-dimer test measures the level of this protein in the blood.

• A high level of D-dimer in the blood indicates that there is an increased likelihood of a blood clot or fibrinolysis (clot breakdown) occurring in the body. It is often used as a screening test to rule out the presence of blood clots in individuals who are at a low risk of developing DVT or PE.
• The D-dimer test is commonly used in emergency departments to evaluate patients with symptoms of DVT or PE. It can also be used to monitor the effectiveness of anticoagulant therapy in individuals who have been diagnosed with a blood clot.
