A high d-dimer test is just used as an indicator for other diseases such as thrombosis. Once the doctor has determined what the cause of the test being high was, they can treat the patient.
D-dimer is a waste product that's released into the blood during the formation of a blood clot. If you have elevated d-dimer levels in the blood, it may be a sign that there's a clot somewhere in the body. However, elevated levels don't always mean there will be a clot--levels are higher in elderly, after a surgery, with heart disease, etc.
normal
A normal D-dimer test result means that the patient who has taken the test does not have an acute disease or condition causing abnormal clotting and breakdown. D-dimer is a substance released upon breaking down of blood clots.
It is a little bit higher than normal (<0,5) but it is not shocking. D-dimers are the products that result if a blood clot disolves in your blood. If you have high levels, there is a good possibility that you have DIC: Disseminated intravascular coagulation. This is a serious desease. Maybe you want to go to a docter and check out the course of your D-dimer. You don't want the level to get high.

D dimer is a protein fragment that is found in the blood after someone has had a blood clot. Fibrinolysis breaks down the clot, leaving D dimer in the blood. The D dimer blood test is usually performed when doctors suspect that a patient has a pulmonary embolism (blood clot in the lung) or deep venous thrombosis. While a negative D dimer blood test usually means that a blood clot is not present, a positive D dimer blood test does not necessarily indicate a blood clot or deep venous thrombosis

D-Dimer is a product of fibrin degradation, which is a protein fragment present after a blood clot is degraded through fibrinolysis (a test used to analyze blood clots). A fibrin is a non-globular protein that results from the coagulation (clotting process) of blood. On an atomic level, the fibrin protein has two D fragments, cross-linked between an E fragment. In biochemical terms, it is expressed as D-E-D, which is where the D in D-dimer comes from. The test for D-dimer was not discovered until the 1970's, and practical applications were not found until the 1990's. It is currently used to test for and identify numerous clotting related blood disorders.
