Importance of barely elevated d-dimer (101ng/ml with ref range .01-100) w/ normal cbc, inr, pt, appt? no pe/clot. 4lb weight loss. cancer likely?

Cancer and D-Dimer: Anything is possible and therefore you need to see your primary care physician for evaluation. D-Dimer is not sensitive test for any one particular problem but is a specific test. If negative (normal), it helps exclude several conditions, most importantly DVT or PE. If positive, it does not help much because you have to figure out why it is elevated (low sensitivity).
