A member asked:

Are repeat d dimers (days or weeks) clinically useful? i.e. any reason to run one again and expect a different result?

Dr. Jason Adler answered

Specializes in Pediatric Critical Care

In DIC treatment: D dimer is a useful screening test for certain clinical conditions such as pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis. Repeat D dimer testing may be used to determine if treatment for a condition known as disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is effective.
