2. 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 ...

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 ...

4. Deep vein thrombosis - Wikipedia

   A D-dimer test can also be used to assist with excluding the diagnosis or to signal a need for further testing. [5] Diagnosis is most commonly confirmed by ultrasound of the suspected veins. [5] VTE becomes much more common with age. The condition is rare in children, but occurs in almost 1% of those ≥ age 85 annually. [3]

6. CT pulmonary angiogram - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CT_pulmonary_angiogram

   It is regarded as a highly sensitive and specific test for pulmonary embolism. [1] CTPA is typically only requested if pulmonary embolism is suspected clinically. If the probability of PE is considered low, a blood test called D-dimer may be requested. If this is negative and risk of a PE is considered negligible, then CTPA or other scans are ...

7. Disseminated intravascular coagulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disseminated_intravascular...

   Diagnosis is typically based on blood tests. [2] 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 ...
