D dimer: Different laboratories have their own reference levels of D dimer. Inflammation, malignancy, liver or heart disease may be the cause of chronic elevation. I'm curious as to why you had d dimer levels checked. Any signs of inflammatory problems, liver or heart disease? Perhaps your level has no clinical significance. Your physician can advise you best.

My d dimer level is 499. In nov it was 278. I did have a superficial blood clot last week. Is it possible it's becoming a dvt? What does this mean?

I have a history of dvt. My first case was in 2001, 2nd case 2018. I just received my blood results and d dimer result- 0.60ug/ml and my antithrombin 3 is on 121%. And I have been off xeralto 20 for 10 months. Should I be concerned?
