Although D-dimer results within a typical range can rule out pulmonary embolism, high results alone can’t diagnose this condition. Doctors usually need to run extra tests to make a diagnosis. A ...

A D-dimer test measures how much D-dimer protein is in the blood. This protein is present when blood clots break down. A typical range is 0 to 0.50 micrograms per milliliter (μg/mL) of blood. Higher ...

A D-dimer test measures a protein fragment that remains in the blood after blood clots break down. It can help diagnose clotting conditions such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), ...
