A member asked:
D dimer 0.55, chest & pain (right&left for both), ctw/contrast was normal. could i have a blood clot or pe? if not, what's causing this pain?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Borderline d dimer: D-dimer units (DDU) (< or =0.50 mcg/mL fibrinogen equivalent units: FEU) are normal. D-Dimer is a nonspecific test and the good news is that CT angiogram is normal and likelihood of significant pulmonary embolism is very unlikely. Yours is borderline and you should pursue and get a duplex vein scan of the leg to make sure there is no DVT or thrombophlebitis.
