WHAT DOES D-dimer TELL YOU ABOUT?

Doctors always prescribe a D-dimer blood test for patients who are sick or have had COVID-19.
COVID-19, according to the International Society of Thrombosis and Hemostasis, is 3-4 times more likely to increase D-dimer levels in the blood, which can lead to blood clotting and the risk of thrombosis.
Timely monitoring of this indicator helps the doctor prescribe the necessary treatment - anticoagulants, which significantly reduce the risk of thrombosis, which can become a complication of an infectious disease.

❗️ Medi Lab+ medical laboratory recommends D-dimer testing (quantitative determination) to diagnose blood clotting levels.

❗️ Medi Lab+ medical laboratory guarantees test results within one day.

D-dimer is a protein fragment formed when a blood clot dissolves, which occurs during blood clotting.

Normally, the amount of D-dimers in the blood is 0-0.55 μg FEU / ml. A sharp increase in the concentration of D-dimers may indicate a large number of blood clots in the vascular bed, which may more often indicate venous thromboembolism or DIC syndrome.

D-dimer may be elevated in the following cases:

🔹 Non-pathological conditions: Smoking. Advanced age. Postoperative conditions. Invasive manipulations (including peripheral intravenous catheter placement). Pregnancy

🔹 Pathological conditions: Traumatic injuries. Preeclampsia. Malignant tumors. Infectious processes. Disseminated intravascular coagulation syndrome. Arterial and venous thromboembolism. Atrial fibrillation. Coronary syndrome. Gastrointestinal bleeding. Rheumatoid arthritis.
