D-DIMER

D-dimer is one of the protein remains produced when a blood clot gets dissolved in the body. It is usually undetectable or detectable at a very low level if the body is forming and breaking down blood clots. Later, its level in the blood can significantly rise. This test is used to detect D-dimer in the blood.

Other names: fragment D-dimer, fibrin degradation fragment
