D-Dimer

D-dimer is a cross-linked fibrin degradation product (XL-FDP), a small protein fragment present in blood after a clot is degraded during fibrinolysis. Measuring the level of D-dimer in a patient is useful to indicate the presence of a blood clot. Therefore, levels below pre-determined cut-off thresholds may be used to rule out conditions such as Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT), Pulmonary embolism (PE) and Stroke. A D-dimer level may be used to help diagnose Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC) and to monitor the effectiveness of DIC treatment.
