About this test
What This Test Measures
The test measures D-dimer in a blood sample.
D-dimer is a protein fragment produced when cross linked fibrin, a key component of blood clots, is broken down by the body. Elevated D-dimer levels may be associated with increased clot formation and breakdown.
D-dimer may be relevant in clinical assessment of conditions such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE) or disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), but it is not specific to these conditions.

D-dimer can be elevated in several situations, including inflammation, infection, trauma, surgery, pregnancy, increasing age and other medical conditions. Results should be interpreted by healthcare professionals together with clinical findings, medical history and relevant risk factors.
Biomarkers included
- D-dimer: Anti-Thyroid Peroxidase (A-TPO) antibodies are proteins produced by the immune system that target thyroid peroxidase, an enzyme essential for thyroid hormone production. Elevated levels of A-TPO antibodies may indicate autoimmune thyroid disorders, such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis or Graves' disease, which can disrupt thyroid function and affect overall health.
How to prepare
Follow the included test instructions and applicable professional procedures. Sample collection, timing and result interpretation should be performed under appropriate professional guidance.
