D-Dimer Test

What is a D-Dimer Test?

A D-Dimer test is a blood test that is used to rule out the presence of serious blood clots in the body.

When a person gets a bruise or cut, the clotting factors get in place to cease the injury so that the blood loss can be stopped. After the blood has been stopped, the body then takes a series of steps to break down the clot.

All this clearing up leaves some leftover substances that then float around in the bloodstream. One of the leftovers is D-dimers. It is a partial protein. With the passage of time, it goes away. But a person can have high levels of D-dimers in the blood in case of major clots such as DVT or deep vein thrombosis.

Also known as the Fragment D-dimer test Fibrin degradation fragment test.
