D-Dimer is a small protein fragment produced when a blood clot breaks down through fibrinolysis. Elevated D-Dimer levels indicate that abnormal clotting and clot breakdown are happening somewhere in the body. The test is most often used to rule out venous thromboembolism (VTE) — including deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE) — in patients with a low clinical pretest probability. A negative D-Dimer in a low-risk patient effectively excludes VTE without further imaging. D-Dimer is also used to monitor disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), assess recurrent VTE risk after stopping anticoagulation, and evaluate ongoing fibrinolysis. Note: D-Dimer is sensitive but not specific — it can be elevated in pregnancy, post-surgery, infection, malignancy, and aging, so an elevated result requires clinical context.

1 biomarker tested
Your D-Dimer results will include values for each of the 1 biomarker tested, along with reference ranges. Results are reviewed by a licensed physician before being released to your secure portal.
If any values fall outside the normal range, your report will include guidance on what that may mean and recommended next steps. You'll receive an email notification when your results are ready, typically within 1–3 business days.
Typical reference range layout
Lab reports show where your value sits relative to established reference intervals—your physician interprets this in context for you.
No fasting required. Take your normal medications. Inform the lab if you've had recent surgery, are pregnant, or have an active infection — these can elevate D-Dimer naturally.
