D-DIMER

What is a D-Dimer Test?

A D-Dimer Test is a blood test that measures the level of D-dimer, a protein fragment produced when a blood clot dissolves in the body. Normally, D-dimer levels are very low or undetectable. However, when the body forms and breaks down blood clots, the D-dimer level may increase.
Doctors often recommend a D-Dimer Test in MALPURA when there is a suspicion of conditions related to abnormal blood clotting, such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE). The test helps assess whether further investigations are needed.

D-Dimer Test Parameters

The D-Dimer Test includes:

• D-Dimer Level – Measures the amount of D-dimer present in the blood

This parameter helps doctor evaluate whether abnormal clot formation and breakdown may be occurring in the body.

Normal Range of D-Dimer Test

The normal range may vary slightly between laboratories, but generally:

• Normal D-Dimer Level: Less than 0.5 µg/mL FEU (Fibrinogen Equivalent Units)

If higher, it may mean that your body is producing more clots and dissolving them. But having higher levels of D-dimer does not necessarily mean that you have a blood clot since it may also be seen in infection, surgery, or pregnancy.
Your doctor will help determine the cause of your D-dimer test results based on your symptoms.
