Why the test?: 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, an elevated D-dimer is not diagnostic of DVT, a negative is of more value in excluding DVT. Wish you good health!
