A member asked:
Would endoscopy and colonoscopy with a few biopsies in stomach make a ddimer blood test result higher? if so how long til it would go back to normal?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doubt it...: D-dimer concentration may help diagnose thrombosis and DIC (Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation) but a elevated level does not rule out other potential causes. False positive readings can be due to: liver disease, high rheumatoid factor, inflammation, malignancy, trauma, pregnancy, recent surgery as well as advanced age.
