i-Chroma D-Dimer

D dimer is a fibrin degradation product (or FDP), a small protein fragment present in the blood after a blood clot is degraded by fibrinolysis. It is so named because it contains two D fragments of the fibrin protein joined by a cross-link.Blood clots generally start to slowly break down after they are formed, and this process releases D-dimer into the blood.  D-Dimer levels in healthy individuals is only of negligible amounts. Increased D-dimer levels indicate increased fibrinolysis or inability to clear the products from the circulation.The D-dimer test is routinely used in the first-line assessment of patients suspected of suffering venous thromboembolism (VTE), which can present as either deep vein thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE) (https://acutecaretesting.org)

The Plasma D-dimer level has proven to be useful for DVT screening in chronic stroke patients undergoing rehabilitation and is also well known to be an important prognostic indicator of heart diseases.
