Understanding D-Dimer in New Delhi
What is D-Dimer in New Delhi?
A D-Dimer test detects the presence of D-dimer, a protein fragment produced when a blood clot dissolves in the body. This test helps diagnose and monitor conditions related to blood clot formation, such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), stroke and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC).
What does D-Dimer measure?
A D-Dimer test measures the amount of D-dimer protein your body produces when a blood clot begins to break down. It is a byproduct of the blood clotting and clot break-down process that can be measured by analyzing a blood sample. D-dimer is typically undetectable in the blood and is produced only after a clot has formed and is broken down.
