Hello and welcome to HCM,
D-dimer is raised specifically in thromboembolic phenomenon in the body.
Thus, presence of D-dimer in blood suggests That a thromboembolic phenomenon is going on in the body and appropriate steps have to be taken to correct this complication of thromboembolism.
Thanks and take care
