What is D-Dimer Test?
D-dimers are protein fragments formed when blood clots disintegrate in the body. Unless the body creates or dissolves blood clots, they are typically either undetectable or identifiable at low levels, after which the level in the blood would significantly increase. The D-dimer test aids in excluding the possibility of thrombus, or unneeded blood clots, in the body. Deep vein thrombosis (DVP), pulmonary embolism (PE), and stroke are all conditions that a D-dimer test helps to rule out. Additionally, the D-dimer test aids in deciding whether additional testing is necessary to diagnose other medical disorders, such as hypercoagulability.
D-Dimer Normal results (Negative)
A tiny amount of D-dimer in the blood is highly encouraging in low-risk patients when it is below a predetermined cut-off estimate, determined by the laboratory and the brand of diagnostic testing services. It shows that the body’s coagulation turnover is not very high.
D-Dimer Abnormal results(Positive)
When a D-dimer test reveals abnormal findings, the doctor may advise the patient to undergo one or more imaging tests to check for the presence of a blood clotting disorder and to determine the location of any blood clots. Following abnormal D-dimer test results, imaging tests include:
- Doppler ultrasonography is a type of imaging technique that uses sound waves to produce pictures of the veins.
- Computed tomography (CT) angiography: Once abnormal D-dimer test findings are discovered, CT angiography is another useful imaging test that is performed. The blood vessels are made visible on a sophisticated X-ray machine by a specific dye that is injected into the veins.
- Lung ventilation-perfusion (V/Q) scan: A lung VQ scan is an imaging test in which an airflow scan is used to assess lung airflow and a perfusion (Q) scan is used to determine where blood flows in the lungs. In order to help a scanning device assess how well blood and air travel through the lungs, V/Q scanning tests use a few modest and safe amounts of radioactive chemicals.
