Overview

Elevated levels of D-dimer signify the activation of hemostasis and fibrinolytic pathway. It is a non-specific marker that has been widely implicated in acute venous thromboembolism (VTE). However, D-dimer levels are also increased in patients with other conditions, such as cancer, pregnancy, infections, trauma, and recent surgery.[1]
