A member asked:
Please answer! what does a low d-dimer by high fibrinogen mean?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Clots coming ; going: D-dimer is increased with breakdown of clots to crosslinked fibrin. Fibrinogen forms fibrin whose fibers become crosslinked to form a clot. So high fibrinogen infers clot formation, not breakdown, so d-dimer is inferred to be low.
