D-Dimer

D-Dimer is a blood test used to detect the presence of D-dimer, a protein fragment that is produced when a blood clot dissolves. Elevated D-dimer levels may indicate active clot formation and breakdown in the body, making this test essential for diagnosing conditions such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). The test is often used as a screening tool in patients with symptoms of clotting disorders, such as unexplained leg pain or shortness of breath.
