What is a normal d dimer?
A normal D-dimer test result means that the patient who has taken the test does not have an acute disease or condition causing abnormal clotting and breakdown. D-dimer is a substance released upon breaking down of blood clots.
What does a d-dimer test detect?
D dimer is a protein fragment that is found in the blood after someone has had a blood clot. Fibrinolysis breaks down the clot, leaving D dimer in the blood. The D dimer blood test is usually performed when doctors suspect that a patient has a pulmonary embolism (blood clot in the lung) or deep venous thrombosis. While a negative D dimer blood test usually means that a blood clot is not present, a positive D dimer blood test does not necessarily indicate a blood clot or deep venous thrombosis
What does a d dimer of 0.71 mean?
normal
How is a high d dimer treated?
A high d-dimer test is just used as an indicator for other diseases such as thrombosis. Once the doctor has determined what the cause of the test being high was, they can treat the patient.
What tube top color is used for a D-Dimer blood test?
A light blue tube (sodium citrate) is typically used for a D-Dimer blood test. The anticoagulant in the tube helps prevent blood clotting, allowing accurate measurement of the D-Dimer levels in the blood sample.
What tube top color is used for a D Dimer blood test?
lavender
What does a 4.0 d dimer mean?
4.0 d means 4.0 kilometer
What does the D stand for in D-dimer?
D-Dimer is a product of fibrin degradation, which is a protein fragment present after a blood clot is degraded through fibrinolysis (a test used to analyze blood clots). A fibrin is a non-globular protein that results from the coagulation (clotting process) of blood. On an atomic level, the fibrin protein has two D fragments, cross-linked between an E fragment. In biochemical terms, it is expressed as D-E-D, which is where the D in D-dimer comes from. The test for D-dimer was not discovered until the 1970's, and practical applications were not found until the 1990's. It is currently used to test for and identify numerous clotting related blood disorders.
Is d dimer lab test results of 1.90 ref range 0.48-2.54 mgl considered within normal limits if a cut off value of 1.0 should be used as a decision point when ruling out DVT or PE?

What is a d dimer test result of 0.77 mean?
It is a little bit higher than normal (<0,5) but it is not shocking. D-dimers are the products that result if a blood clot disolves in your blood. If you have high levels, there is a good possibility that you have DIC: Disseminated intravascular coagulation. This is a serious desease. Maybe you want to go to a docter and check out the course of your D-dimer. You don't want the level to get high.
Can clariti-d or Zyrtec-d make you test positive ona drug test?
No
What is the positive result for mucic acid test?
A positive result for a mucic acid test shows the presence of mucic acid in the sample being tested. This result may indicate certain metabolic disorders or conditions such as mucopolysaccharidoses or pentosuria. Additional testing and evaluation by a healthcare provider would be needed to determine the underlying cause of the positive result.
