Does A Slightly Elevated D-dimer Mean A Blood Clot?
i went to the hospital 3 weeks ago and my d-dimer test was slightly elevated...they did a ct with contrast and it was normal...i was having a burning back pain as a symptom on my left side that would radiate to my rib cage....i notice this pain sometimes after i eat....does a slightly elevated d-dimer mean a blood clot regardless of what the ct shows..
I dear. I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Slightly elevated d dimer raise the possibility of disseminated intravascular coagulation. You should go for complete coagulation profile including FDP. This will give you exact diagnosis. Then you should take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
