A member asked:
Is a d-dimer feu blood test better test than d-dimer ddu blood test for exclusion of dvt and/or pulmonary embolism? if no why?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ddimer: If d-dimer is negative, it certainly rules out dvt. If d-dimer is positive, it does not alone confirm a clot. If positive d-dimer, you will need additional test including ultrasound
