A member asked:
Could elevated d-dimer on multiple occasions mean i have a clotting disorder even if no pe or dvt was found? pt/ptt/inr, crp, esr were normal.

How elevated?: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, elevated D-dimer while associated with thrombosis, is also seen in other disorders, e.g. inflammation.
