    Blood clots are dangerous, so you don’t want to ignore an elevated D dimer level.

  3. D-dimer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D-dimer

    A negative D-dimer test will virtually rule out thromboembolism: [5] the degree to which the D-dimer reduces the probability of thrombotic disease is dependent on the test properties of the specific test used in the clinical setting: most available D-dimer tests with a negative result will reduce the probability of thromboembolic disease to ...

    Statins (prescription drugs to lower cholesterol) are considered a small risk. [9] Some people have inherited muscle conditions that increase the risk of rhabdomyolysis. [3] The diagnosis is supported by a urine test strip which is positive for "blood" but the urine contains no red blood cells when examined with a microscope. [3]

  5. Fibrin degradation product - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fibrin_degradation_product

    Principles of D-dimer testing. Fibrin degradation products (FDPs), also known as fibrin split products, are components of the blood produced by clot degeneration. [1] Clotting, also called coagulation, at the wound site produces a mass of fibrin threads called a net that remains in place until the cut is healed. As a cut heals, the clotting ...

    Findings may include low platelets, low fibrinogen, high INR, or high D-dimer. [2] Treatment is mainly directed towards the underlying condition. [2] [3] Other measures may include giving platelets, cryoprecipitate, or fresh frozen plasma. [2] Evidence to support these treatments, however, is poor. [2] Heparin may be useful in the slowly ...

  7. Hyperfibrinolysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperfibrinolysis

    The diagnosis of hyperfibrinolysis is made indirectly with immunochemical methods which detect the elevation of biomarkers such as D-Dimer (cross-linked fibrin degradation products), fibrinogen split products (FSP), complexes of plasmin and alpha-2-antiplasmin (PAP).

    The purpose of the rule is to select the best method of investigation (e.g. D-dimer testing, CT angiography) for ruling in or ruling out the diagnosis of PE, and to improve the interpretation and accuracy of subsequent testing, based on a Bayesian framework for the probability of the diagnosis.
