Overview
The D-Dimer test is a blood test that measures the levels of D-Dimer, a protein fragment produced when a blood clot dissolves. The test is used to diagnose and rule out thrombotic disorders, such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), and stroke. Elevated D-Dimer levels can indicate the presence of a blood clot, while normal levels can help to exclude thrombotic disorders. The test is often used in emergency situations, such as when a patient presents with symptoms of a blood clot, and can provide rapid results to guide treatment decisions.
Description
The D-Dimer test is a quantitative or qualitative laboratory assay that measures the levels of D-Dimer, a fibrin degradation product (FDP), in a patient’s blood sample. D-Dimer is a protein fragment produced when plasmin, an enzyme, breaks down a blood clot. The test typically involves the collection of a venous blood sample, which is then sent to a laboratory for analysis. The D-Dimer assay uses monoclonal antibodies or latex agglutination to detect and quantify the D-Dimer levels in the blood sample. The results are usually reported in micrograms per milliliter (μg/mL) or as a qualitative result (positive or negative). Elevated D-Dimer levels (>250-500 μg/mL) can indicate the presence of a thrombotic disorder, such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), or stroke, while normal levels can help to exclude these conditions.
