D Dimer Assay
Introduction A new test for determination of circulating fibrin degradation products has recently been marketed in the U.S. Known genericaUy as the D-dimer assay, it is a direct latex agglutination assay employing monoclonal anubody specific for digestion products of crosslinked fibrin. It is offered as an alternative to or replacement for the widely available Thrombo-Wellcotest assay for fibri...
متن کاملComparing D-dimer assays
• Including many patients with elevated D-dimer concentrations due to other causes than VTE may give a false increase in sensitivity and negative predictive value • The prevalence of VTE has an influence on the predictive values – higher prevalence gives lower NPV • A high ratio of proximal to distal DVT will increase both the sensitivity and the negative predictive value • A study focused on P...
متن کاملD-dimer testing in pregnancy.
During pregnancy, elevated markers of coagulation and fibrinolytic system activation, such as D-Dimer, indicate increased thrombin activity and increased fibrinolysis following fibrin formation. Testing for D-Dimer during pregnancy could therefore be useful for the diagnosis and prediction of a venous thromboembolic event (VTE) or pregnancy-related complications, and for monitoring antithrombot...
متن کاملD - Dimer levels in pregnancy
32 We performed a retrospective review of medical charts regarding blood D-dimer levels 33 determined cross-sectionally by latex agglutination assay in 1952 samples from 1185 34 women to determine changes in D-dimer levels according to stage of pregnancy. Three 35 of 17 women in whom further investigations were performed were found to have 36 clinical venous thromboembolism (VTE). The median an...
متن کاملDoppler ultrasound and D-dimer
The diagnosis of venous thromboembolism has evolved considerably with the development of standardized diagnostic algorithms that include clinical probability assessment, D-dimer measurement and the use of non-invasive imaging modalities such as compression ultrasonography and computed tomography angiography. The implementation of these strategies aims to improve resource allocation and patient ...
