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.
4.0 d means 4.0 kilometer
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

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.
