No treatment: D-dimer is a non specific test that can become abnormal in many different conditions. A bruise can cause it to increase. You look for the cause and treat the cause if needed.

D-dimer: This test is often used to evaluate someone with the possible venous thrombosis, but it also can be elevated due to inflammatory issues. It would be recommended to undergo a venous duplex ultrasound of the lower extremities to determine if you have any venous thrombosis based on this elevated level.

Can certain medications or bruises create your d dimer to be elevated? Mine was 278 mg/nl. Chest/lung ct, echo, cbc, and platelets were normal.
