A member asked:
D-dimer is over 700. negative ct scan and ultrasound for pe and dvt. could there still be a clot somewhere they haven't found??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Less likely: Given the negative CT scan and U/S, the positive D-dimer is most likely coming from a different inflammatory process than blood clots.
