Understanding D-Dimer in Thane


What is D-Dimer in Thane?

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.

Answers to Patient Concerns & Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about D-Dimer in Thane


Frequently Asked Questions about D-Dimer in Thane

Q. What do the results mean?

You probably don't have a clotting disorder if your D-dimer level is low or normal. If your results are higher than normal, it may indicate a clotting disorder. Also, high D-dimer levels are not always caused by clotting problems. Other conditions like pregnancy, heart disease, and recent surgery can also cause high D-dimer levels.

Q. What happens if my test levels are high?

If your D-dimer test results are high, your doctor may order imaging tests, such as Doppler ultrasound and CT angiography, to determine if you have a clotting disorder.

Q. Is there any risk associated with this test?

There is no risk associated with the test. However, since this test involves a needle prick to withdraw the blood sample, in very rare cases, a patient may experience increased bleeding, hematoma formation (blood collection under the skin), bruising, or infection at the site of the needle prick.
