What is D Dimer Test Used For?

The test is used for identifying the inappropriate blood clotting in the body. Blood clotting is an important process that prevents you from losing too much blood when injured. In a healthy person, the blood clots dissolve when the injury is healed completely. However, if you are someone with blood clotting disorders, then there are chances of formation of blood clots in the body even without any injuries. Blood clots so formed do not dissolve in the body and are harmful and even life-threatening. With the help of the D-dimer test, such inappropriate blood clots in the body can be identified.

What is included in a D Dimer Test?

We know that the D-dimer test is used for the identification of inappropriate blood clots or for the identification of blood clotting disorders such as:

Deep vein thrombosis (DVT): Deep vein thrombosis is a blood clot that is formed in the vein deep inside your body. Most of the DVTs are found in thigs or lower legs. DVT is caused because of a long time sitting still with blood clot formation in leg veins and if the veins get swollen or inflamed, then it is known as thrombophlebitis. Tenderness over the vein, skin redness, and swelling in the affected body part is the other common symptoms of DVT. There are medications that are used for easing the pain and reducing inflammation. These medications also break the clot and keep new clot formation away.

Pulmonary embolism (PE): Pulmonary embolism is a sudden blockage in the lung artery. This occurs when the blood clot breaks from another site and travels to the lungs through the bloodstream. PE is a serious health condition because it permanently damages the lungs, the levels of oxygen lowers, and it damages the other organs due to a shortage of oxygen. The medicines that are prescribed for patients with PE are blood thinners or anticoagulants that keep the blood clots from getting larger and prevents the formation of new blood clots.

Stroke: Stroke happens when there is no blood flow to a part of your brain. When there is no blood flow, the brain’s cells die within minutes as they do not get the required amount of nutrients including oxygen. Ischemic stroke is a type of stroke that is caused by blood clots. These blood clots block the blood vessels in the brain. People with high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart diseases are at higher risk of stroke.
Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC): Disseminated intravascular coagulation is a disorder caused because of the overactive proteins that modulate blood clotting. The cause of DIC can be inflammation, cancer, or infection. There are a few proteins that are responsible for the formation of the blood clot when there is an injury. In the DIC cases, these proteins start forming blood clots throughout the body leading to less or no supply of blood to other organs of the body. Also due to over usage of clotting factors, the body goes into a clotting deficiency state and bleeding in abnormal sites occurs as a consequence Lack of blood flow leads to multiple organs failure.

D-dimer values	What it means
The value should be between 220 and 500 ng/ml fibrinogen-equivalent units	Normal
More than 500 ng/ml fibrinogen-equivalent units	Positive
Less than 220 ng/ml fibrinogen-equivalent units	Negative

However, an increased range of D-dimer values cannot be considered abnormal as they might have increased due to other reasons like:

Recent surgery, recent bleeding, trauma, and hematomas
It could be due to congestive heart failure, liver disease, or hypercoagulable states
Pregnancy

What affects the D Dimer Test results?

If the D-dimer test results are normal or low, it indicates that there is no blood clotting disorder. However, if the test results are positive it could be due to blood clotting disorder. It could also be due to other conditions such as pregnancy, recent surgery, and heart diseases. It is always advised to talk to your doctor about all your concerns and never try self-medication.

What is the D-dimer test?

In this test, the amount of D-dimer which is a type of protein produced by the body is measured. To stop excess blood loss from the body, there is a formation of the blood clot. But if these blood clots are formed in the body with any injuries, they are harmful and life-threatening. The increased amount of D-dimer in the body is an indication of blood disorders. Hence, this test helps in the detection of blood disorders.

Can blood clots be detected from other tests?

Yes, CBC (complete blood count) test can be used for the detection of blood clots. It is one of the most common blood tests which is done as a part of a routine checkup to detect blood disorders such as clotting problems, immune system problems, anaemia, infections, and blood cancers.

Who should get this test done?

Men and women who are above 18 years of age can get the test done.

What if the D-dimer test is high?

If your results show higher levels of D-dimer than the normal range (that is 220 to 500 ng/ml), it may indicate that you have clotting disorders. However, the location of the clot and the type of clotting disorder cannot be detected. Also, other factors result in higher levels of D-dimer.

What is a CTPA scan?

CTPA is a CT pulmonary angiogram scan that is used for detecting blood clots in the lungs. This is also known as pulmonary embolism. Through this scan, the pictures of blood vessels running through the lungs can be seen and it helps in the detection of pulmonary embolism.
