Thrombo‐inflammatory biomarkers and D‐dimer in a biracial cohort study
Background Higher D‐dimer is a risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and venous thromboembolism. In the general population, D‐dimer and other thrombo‐inflammatory biomarkers are higher among Black individuals, who also have higher risk of these ...

Standardizing the d-dimer Assay: Proposing the d-dimer International Managed Ratio [PDF]
To the Editor: The d-dimer assay currently lacks standardization, since each manufacturer uses a different cutoff to define an abnormal value. The existence of at least 6 commonly used assays—all with differing units and cutoffs—leads to confusion among practitioners.

D-Dimer Testing in Pregnancy [PDF]
Normal pregnancy is associated with alterations of the hemostatic system toward a hypercoagulable state. Elevated markers of coagulation and fibrinolytic system activation, such as D-dimer, indicate increased thrombin activity and increased fibrinolysis following fibrin formation throughout pregnancy.
