D-Dimer Test
The D-Dimer tests diagnose conditions related to thrombosis or blood clotting. The test measures a protein element known as D-Dimer produced when a blood clot dissolves. It is a blood test that helps rule out clotting episodes and disorders like Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT). A D-Dimer test is done when:
- There are blood clot symptoms
- Presence of disorders that cause frequent blood clots
- To monitor the treatment of blood clotting disorders like Pulmonary embolism,
Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation, and stroke - Detection of Covid-19
For this test, a blood sample is obtained and tested for the levels of D-Dimer present in the blood. Higher levels of D-Dimer may indicate the existence of a blood clotting condition.
