A member asked:

Sore calf with negative d-dimer yesterday, i'm 27yo male, non smoker, bmi 24.9, could it still be a dvt?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Unlikely: A negative D-dimer test means that a blood clot is highly unlikely. A positive D-dimer test doesn't mean that you have a clot. If you still have doubts you can get a venous doppler study of the sore cough.

Dr Hammerstead and another doctor agreed
