D-Dimer is a blood test that measures a protein fragment produced when a blood clot dissolves in the body. The test is used to help diagnose or rule out blood clotting disorders such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE). The test is performed by drawing a blood sample from a vein in the arm and sending it to a laboratory for analysis. Elevated levels of D-Dimer can indicate the presence of a blood clot, but further testing is needed to confirm a diagnosis.
Patients with suspected deep vein thrombosis (DVT)
Patients with suspected pulmonary embolism (PE)
Patients with suspected disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC)
Consult with a healthcare provider: A person with abnormal D-dimer test results should consult with a healthcare provider such as a primary care physician or hematologist. The healthcare provider will review the test results and medical history to determine the next course of action.
Additional diagnostic tests: Depending on the clinical presentation and medical history, the healthcare provider may order additional diagnostic tests such as a CT scan, ultrasound, or blood tests to confirm or rule out the presence of a blood clot or other underlying medical condition.
Follow-up: It is important to follow up with the healthcare provider as recommended to monitor the condition and the effectiveness of the treatment. The healthcare provider may adjust the treatment plan or recommend lifestyle modifications to reduce the risk of blood clots.
