What is a normal d dimer?
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.
How is a high d dimer treated?
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.
What tube top color is used for a D-Dimer blood test?
A light blue tube (sodium citrate) is typically used for a D-Dimer blood test. The anticoagulant in the tube helps prevent blood clotting, allowing accurate measurement of the D-Dimer levels in the blood sample.
What does a d-dimer test detect?
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
What tube top color is used for a D Dimer blood test?
lavender
What would a d-dimer test result of 4000 mean?
A d-dimer test result of 4000 ng/mL is significantly elevated and may indicate the presence of a thrombotic process, such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE). Elevated d-dimer levels can also be associated with other conditions like disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), infection, or recent surgery. However, d-dimer is a non-specific test, and further clinical evaluation and imaging studies are necessary to determine the underlying cause. Always consult a healthcare professional for an accurate interpretation of test results.
What besides a blood clot can cause a high d dimer test?
A high D-dimer test can be caused by various conditions besides blood clots, including recent surgery, trauma, or infection. Other factors like inflammation, liver disease, and certain cancers may also lead to elevated D-dimer levels. Additionally, conditions such as pregnancy can contribute to increased D-dimer levels. It's important to interpret the results in conjunction with clinical findings and other diagnostic tests.
What does the D stand for in D-dimer?
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.
Is d dimer lab test results of 1.90 ref range 0.48-2.54 mgl considered within normal limits if a cut off value of 1.0 should be used as a decision point when ruling out DVT or PE?

What does a d dimer of 0.71 mean?

How much does d dimer blood test cost?
The cost of a D-dimer blood test can vary widely depending on factors such as location, healthcare provider, and whether you have insurance. On average, the test may range from $30 to $100 without insurance. However, with insurance, out-of-pocket costs can be significantly lower, often depending on your specific plan. It's advisable to check with your healthcare provider or insurance company for precise pricing.
