What can cause d-dimer to be high while on warfarin?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Risk of stopping rx: Early on, d-dimer could be left over products from clots that formed before the warfarin or, later on during treatment, the test can be used to decide how long to continue warfarin, since an elevated d-dimer may indicate an increased risk of more clots when the warfarin is stopped.
