What is this test?

This laboratory test is performed on a blood sample to detect the presence of D-dimer in the blood to figure out blood clotting abnormalities. It is the breakdown product of blood clots.

Why is this test performed?

This test is performed:

  • To rule out clotting disorders
  • To rule out condition such as Pulmonary embolism and Stroke
  • To diagnose condition related to thrombosis
  • To monitor the treatment efficacy of Disseminated Intravascular coagulation and clotting conditions.
  • Taking blood sample: Blood sample in adults is withdrawn from a vein through a fine needle and collected into a test tube.
  • The sample is sent to the laboratory for analysis.
  1. What are the symptoms of deep vein thrombosis?

Following are the symptoms of DVT:

  • Leg pain
  • Leg tenderness
  • Leg swelling
  • Streaks on the leg.

 

  1. What is D-Dimer?

D-dimer is a fibrin degradation product that appears in the blood after breakdown of a clot. It helps in diagnosing thrombosis.

 

  1. What are other causes of high levels of FDP?

Other than clot formation and breakdown, causes of high levels include:

  • Liver disease
  • Infection

 

  1. What are the symptoms of pulmonary embolism?
  • Difficulty breathing
  • Cough
  • Rapid heartbeat
  • Chest pain.

 

  1. What are the risks of this test?

Risks involved in blood withdrawal are rare but include:

  • Pain
  • Infection
  • Bleeding
  • Bruising.

 

INTERPRETATION:

Normal Results

The result is normally less than 10 mcg/mL (10 mg/L).

 

What Abnormal Results Mean

Increased FDPs may be a sign of primary or secondary fibrinolysis (clot-dissolving activity) due to a variety of causes, including:

                                                                                                                    

  • Blood clotting problems
  • Burns
  • Problem with the heart's structure and function that is present at birth (congenital heart disease)
  • Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC)
  • Low level of oxygen in the blood
  • Infections
  • Leukemia
  • Liver disease
  • Problem during pregnancy such as preeclampsia, placenta abruptio, miscarriage
  • Recent blood transfusion
  • Recent surgery that involved a heart and lung bypass pump, or surgery to lower high blood pressure in the liver
  • Kidney disease
  • Transplant rejection
  • Transfusion reaction

You should get tested if you have the symptoms of a pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis, or disseminated intravascular coagulation.
