Need more context: By itself, d-dimer isn't that useful. It's a marker for breakdown of clotting factors, so elevated levels imply a clot somewhere. Humans are always producing and eliminating small clots, especially in connection with menstruation, so an elevated d-dimer can have multiple reasons. Need further information on why the test was ordered, etc.

Close to normal: D-dimer goes up with so many things that it is more important in ruling out blood clots if it is low. Your level is just above the normal of 250 and by itself not a cause for concern. See this site for more info. http://www.mayomedicallaboratories.com/test-catalog/clinical+and+interpretive/9290.

I had a Thyroid FNA biopsy done and the result was benign. Afterwards I did a TgAb blood test that came back positive, 32 UI/mL - the normal range is 0 to 27 UI/mL. I would be very grateful to learn about the significance of this result. Thank you.
