D-Dimere D-Dimer
Unit: µg/l
Quick Explanation
D-dimers are produced during the breakdown of blood clots and are an important building block in evaluating a possible thrombosis or pulmonary embolism. A normal value makes an acute thrombosis less likely, but an elevated value alone doesn't prove a thrombosis, since many situations can raise it.
