What is the D-DIMER Test?

The D-Dimer test (fibrin degradation fragment Test) looks for D-Dimer, a protein fragment formed when a blood clot dissolves. This test is used to diagnose coagulation problems, pulmonary embolism, and DVT. The test is commonly performed when someone has trouble breathing or chest pain. 

If your D-Dimer levels are normal, you don't have a clotting disorder. If the levels are higher than usual, you should see your doctor to rule out clotting disorders or other medical conditions.

Why done? 

The D-dimer test is used to determine the presence of a blood clot that isn't healthy (thrombus). The fragment d-dimer test is used to help rule out the following conditions:

• Thrombosis of a deep vein (DVT)

• A pulmonary embolism is a type of blood clot that occurs in the lungs (PE)

• Stroke

This test may also be conducted if a person exhibits pulmonary embolism symptoms such as:

• fast heart rate

• Forced breathing, sudden shortness of breath

• Hemoptysis (coughing) (blood present in sputum)

• Chest pain caused by lung disease.
