A member asked:
My d-dimer is 4,000. with no sign of clot with nuclear chest exam and ultrasound of both legs. what else needs to be addressed. i have some worries?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
High D dimer: If existence of a clot or its breakdown isn't the cause of an elevated D dimer, other causes such as infection, injury,liver disease or malignancy are possible causes. A hematologist would be helpful in evaluating your situation and any symptoms as well as recommending appropriate testing. Of course, clot could exist in other areas of the body like pelvic veins, for example.
