A member asked:
Is there a potential link between an elevated d-dimer level and a diagnosis of multiple myeloma? note: i have an oncologist, just doing some extra research.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Potentially: As both multiple myeloma and several of the therapies utilized in this condition lead to increased risk of clots, and d dimer elevation is supportive of a clotting process.
