Admission D-dimer levels, D-dimer trends, and outcomes in COVID-19 [PDF]

Thrombosis Research, 2020
Observational data suggest an acquired prothrombotic state may contribute to the pathophysiology of COVID-19. These data include elevated D-dimers observed among many COVID-19 patients. We present a retrospective analysis of admission D-dimer, and D-dimer trends, among 1065 adult hospitalized COVID-19 patients, across 6 New York Hospitals.

D‐Dimer: A Mediator of the Association Between Lymphocyte and Dissemination of Pulmonary Tuberculosis: A Retrospective Cohort Study [PDF]

The Clinical Respiratory Journal
Introduction This study aimed to examine whether D‐dimer and lymphocyte counts predict the risk of concurrent pulmonary tuberculosis (PTB) and extrapulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) and to identify critical thresholds for clinical use.

A Test in Context: D-Dimer

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2017
D-dimer is a soluble fibrin degradation product that results from ordered breakdown of thrombi by the fibrinolytic system. Numerous studies have shown that D-dimer serves as a valuable marker of activation of coagulation and fibrinolysis. Consequently, D-dimer has been extensively investigated for the diagnosis of venous thromboembolism (VTE) and is ...

Short- and long-term risk stratification in acutely ill medical patients by implementing D-dimer in the emergency setting – A prospective cohort study [PDF]

American Heart Journal Plus
Objective: D-dimer testing is commonly used in emergency departments (EDs) to rule out thromboembolic events. However, elevated D-dimer levels may also be associated with an increased risk of mortality, independent of thromboembolism.

Raising the D-dimer bar: a narrative review of the age-adjusted D-dimer threshold. [PDF]

Res Pract Thromb Haemost
D-dimers play a key role in diagnosing venous thromboembolism (VTE) due to high negative predictive value in excluding VTE in patients with a nonhigh clinical probability. However, D-dimer levels naturally increase with age, complicating their interpretation in elderly patients.

The impact of symptom duration on D-dimer: results from the Venous Thrombosis Registry in Østfold Hospital [PDF]

Research and Practice in Thrombosis and Haemostasis
Background: It has been suggested that D-dimer testing should be avoided in patients with prolonged symptoms, as results may yield false negatives. However, the evidence supporting this recommendation is limited.

D-dimer kit with a High FDP/D-Dimer Ratio is Useful for Diagnosing Thrombotic Diseases

Clinical and Applied Thrombosis/Hemostasis, 2022
Introduction Although D-dimer is a useful biomarker of thrombosis, there are many D-dimer kits, with high and low fibrinogen and fibrin degradation products (FDP)/ D-dimer ratios.

Retrospective Analysis of Follow-up and Results of Patients with High D-Dimer Value and Discharged without Emergency Pathology

Turkish Journal of Internal Medicine, 2023
Background This study aimed to retrospectively examine the morbidity and mortality rates after discharge of patients who applied to the emergency department with high D-dimer values but had no pathology upon evaluation.Material and Methods Patients over ...

The D‐dimer assay [PDF]

American Journal of Hematology, 2019
AbstractD‐dimer is an indirect marker of fibrinolysis and fibrin turnover; this molecule exhibits unique properties as a biological marker of hemostatic abnormalities as well as an indicator of intravascular thrombosis. D‐dimer is a soluble fibrin degradation product that results from the systematic degradation of vascular thrombi through the ...
