D dimer: Nonspecific test. Can be worrisome in the proper setting. Your doctor should help you interpret the test for your specific situation.

Not enough info: Ddimer is a breakdown product of clot (fibrin). It may be normally elevated in a variety of situations and not be indicative of underlying disease. It must be interpreted with caution due to variability in the assays used and the sensitivities of the tests. A hematologist is the best to answer your questions.
