1378 ddimer result what does this mean cancer?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Elevated d dimer: D dimer is not a marker for cancer. it means there is a risk of clotting , iIt is high in DVT, embolus, dissection, stroke, and after surgery, trauma, in gastritis, and pneumonia. Sometimes in the pre-period before cancer people may clot ( paraneoplastic syndrome ) if high it warrants work up by a hematologist as clotting can be dangerous especially, in the lung
