Description

The D-dimer test helps detect abnormal blood clotting, often needed for suspected deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism; in China, it typically costs ¥15–¥45 with hospital booking and interpreter support via ChinaMedicalHub.

Main Uses

The primary purpose of D-dimer testing is to rule out the presence of venous thromboembolism (VTE), including deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). It is also used to monitor the effectiveness of anticoagulant therapy and in the diagnosis of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC).

Normal Range

The normal range for D-dimer is typically less than 0.5 micrograms per millileter (μg/mL) or 500 nanograms per milliliter (ng/mL), but this can vary slightly depending on the laboratory and the specific testing method used.

Low Values - Possible Causes

Low D-dimer levels are generally not a concern as they indicate no significant clotting activity. However, in rare cases, very low levels might be associated with: hypofibrinogenemia, liver disease, or certain hereditary conditions affecting coagulation factors.

High Values - Possible Causes

High D-dimer levels may be caused by: deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), recent surgery or trauma, and some cancers.
