D-dimer: This does suggest some form of clotting disorder. The clotting may be in small vessels not picked up on routine studies for elevated D-dimer levels. You should see a hematologist (specialist in blood disorders). Until the etiology of your D-Dimer is found, if on birth control pills, another form should be used as birth control pills increase the risk blood clots large and small.
