My d dimer level was 278 ng/ml. is that considered extremely high or within normal ranges. thanks so much. had other normal tests done?

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.
