Re: elevated d-dimere?
Dear Sarah
http://labtestsonline.org/understand...imer/tab/test/
This website is a great one if you have questions about a lab test.
D Dimer is not a great test for patients who have complex medical problems. There are many things other than thrombosis that can cause it to be elevated so it has to be taken in context.
