A member asked:

Is d dimer that is .04 above the normal cut off something to be concerned about? had the test done because of pain in my left calf. repeat test normal

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Do not worry: A positive D-dimer is not very useful. A negative result is more useful for ruling out blood clot. For good health - Have a diet rich in fresh vegetables, fruits, whole grains, milk and milk products, nuts, beans, legumes, lentils and small amounts of lean meats. Avoid saturated fats. Exercise at least 150 minutes/week and increase the intensity of exercise gradually. Do not use tobacco, alcohol, weed or street drugs in any form. Practice safe sex.
