Re: elevated d-dimere?
sarah
I had a high d-dimere, they did all the tests to rule out blood clots (legs/lungs etc). They gave me blood thinners as a precaution but never figured out why it was so elevated.
I did do my own research and found out that a virus/infection can also cause a elevated level. I had just gotten over fifths disease which my kids gave me and I think this is what elevated my levels. not sure if this is relevant but just wanted to share my experience
