A member asked:

I had a d-dimer today, it was negative, so how likely is it to still have a dvt?

Dr. Michael Gabor answered

Specializes in Diagnostic Radiology

D-dimer: sensitivity is greater than 95%, so the chance overall is less than 5%. It also depends somewhat on the clinical probability that you have DVT.
