Description
About D Dimer Test
The D Dimer test measures the presence of D-Dimer, a protein fragment released when a blood clot ...
dissolves in the body. It helps diagnose blood clotting disorders like Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), Pulmonary Embolism (PE), and Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC). Doctors use this test to rule out serious clotting conditions and assess the risk of thrombosis.
Pre-requisites for the D Dimer Test
- Fasting is not required for the D Dimer test.
- Inform your doctor if you are on blood thinners or anticoagulants, as they may affect results.
- Avoid vigorous exercise before the test, as it may temporarily increase D Dimer levels.
- Stay hydrated before the test to make blood sample collection easier.
Why Doctors Recommend D Dimer Test
Doctors order a D Dimer test for:
- Detecting Blood Clots: Helps diagnose conditions like DVT and PE.
- Evaluating Stroke or Heart Attack Risks: High levels may indicate blocked arteries.
- Monitoring COVID-19 Patients: Used to check for clot-related complications.
- Assessing Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC): A life-threatening condition where clots form excessively.
- Ruling Out Clotting Disorders: A negative D Dimer test helps confirm the absence of serious clotting issues.
Understanding the Test Results
- Normal Range: Less than 0.50 µg/mL (FEU) or 500 ng/mL (D-Dimer Units).
- Elevated Levels: Indicate possible blood clot formation, inflammation, infection, or recent surgery. Further testing is required to confirm diagnosis.
- Very High Levels: Seen in conditions like Pulmonary Embolism (PE), Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), COVID-19 complications, or Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC).
- Low or Normal Levels: Suggest no active clotting disorders, ruling out serious clot-related conditions.
A high D Dimer level does not always confirm a disease, so additional tests like ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI may be required for an accurate diagnosis.
