D Dimer checks for blood clotting. Blood clotting is a normal and essential process for preventing excessive blood loss if you are injured. When the wound heals, the body breaks the blood clot into small fragments in order to expel the clot from the body.

However, when blood clots for no reason, it is a sign of a disorder.

A D-dimer test is usually accompanied by other blood tests and imaging scans for diagnosis, as this test cannot determine the source or cause of clotting.

Sometimes, a D-dimer test result is positive despite the absence of a clotting problem. This can happen in:

• Older seniors
• During pregnancy

Or If you-

• Are a smoker
• Have a severe infection
• Are taking anticoagulants (used to prevent and treat clotting problems)
• Have recently had surgery

If a D-dimer test result is positive, it means your D-dimer level is higher than normal. That suggests you might have blood clots or blood clotting problems.

A blood clotting condition occurs when blood clots, even without an injury, and the clots do not disintegrate when it's supposed to be. This condition can lead to dangerous disorders such as deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, disseminated transvascular coagulation, and stroke. Healthcare providers also use a D-dimer test to monitor the effectiveness of the prescribed treatment.

The D- dimer test does not require any specific preparation such as fasting prior to the test. You  can eat and drink normally before the test.

During the D-Dimer Test

Once you have opted for the home sample collection option for D Dimer test, your nearest PharmEasy Lab will send an expert phlebotomist to your home. Since this is a blood test, the phlebotomist will use a sterilized and new needle and syringe to draw a small volume of your blood. A vein finder will be used for accurate identification of your vein. The sample will then be taken to the Lab for analysis.
