A member asked:
Can you have an elevated d-dimer (1.671) without thrombus? i have aps + ss, and on xarelto 10 mg.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: There are many causes of elevated D-dimer, other than clot. D-dimer test is good for excluding clot, if the test is negative, but a positive result does not equate to a clot and requires additional investigation.
