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.
