Can a d dimer test detect a subdural hematoma?

No, d-dimer is not used to detect subdural hematoma, imaging studies are needed to diagnose such pathology.

A dimer test is not specific for subdural hematoma and may be negative despite the presence of it. Imaging study is the best, if symptoms and physical examination suggests intracranial bleed.
