Human D-dimer protein is a blood test performed in the medical laboratory to diagnose thrombosis. Since human D-Dimer(s) introduction, human D-Dimer protein has become an important test performed in patients suspected of thrombotic disorders. While a negative human D-Dimer result practically rules out thrombosis, a positive human D-Dimer result can indicate thrombosis but also has other potential causes. Human D-Dimer(s) main use is to exclude thromboembolic disease where the probability is low. Human D-dimer testing is of clinical use when there is a suspicion of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) or pulmonary embolism (PE). In patients suspected of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), Human D-dimer(s) protein may aid in the diagnosis.
