ABSTRACT D‐dimer defines degradation products derived from the proteolysis mediated by plasmin on cross‐linked fibrin. The evidence‐based use of D‐dimer in some conditions has been consolidated. Currently, however, there is an entrenched prescription of D‐dimer testing to screen otherwise healthy subjects that may induce prescribing physicians to start
