A member asked:
Can your d-dimer level be up if you are on your menstrual cycle with heavy bleeding? i had my ddimer check at urgent care and it was 855 cut off is 500ng/ml . i went to the er and had a ct and ultrasound that was clear. should i be concerned?

I don't think a significantly elevated d dimer test should be attributed to normal menstrual bleeding but I'm unsure whether extremely heavy menstrual bleeding can cause it. Nevertheless it was best to check it out &rule out venous thromboembolism, malignancy, liver disease& serious infection. Follow-up with your MD for repeat levels& if still high, consult a hematologist to look for coag disorder

Went to the ER and my d-dimer was 1.21 ug/mL FEU when the cutoff is .48. Did a chest ct scan w/ contrast and showed nothing so sent me home. Should I be worried? WBC was also low 3.70 _X10^3/uL. Dr said I was fine?
D Dimer result states 1339 ng/mL FEU (High) but doctor did not say anything. Below says normal range is less than 499. Why is this number so high? Head and chest ct normal. Keep having fainting spells
