D-dimer testing in suspected venous thromboembolism: an update.
Fibrin is the main thrombus component. Its production being definitely lower in in-patients than in outpatients. is followed by activation of the fibrinolytic system, resulting in plasmin generation and subsequent fibrin lysis (Figure 1). Dissolution of crosslinked fibrin leads to formation of specific degradation products, includMethods for measuring DD in blood ing D-dimer (DD),1 which can be...
متن کاملD-dimer levels and risk of recurrent venous thromboembolism.
CONTEXT Widespread screening of patients with venous thromboembolism (VTE) for thrombophilic risk factors has become common clinical practice. Because of the increasing number of risk factors, assessing the risk of recurrence in an individual patient is intricate; therefore, a laboratory method that measures multifactorial thrombophilia is required. OBJECTIVE To prospectively study the relati...

متن کاملA latex D-dimer reliably excludes venous thromboembolism.
BACKGROUND D-Dimer, a cross-linked fibrin degradation product, has a high sensitivity in patients with suspected venous thrombosis. Traditional latex D-dimer assays, however, have not been sufficiently sensitive to exclude venous thromboembolism. METHODS To determine the clinical utility of a latex D-dimer assay (MDA D-Dimer; Organon Teknika Corporation, Durham, NC) in patients with suspected...
متن کاملGuided duration of anticoagulation after unprovoked venous thromboembolism using D-dimer testing.
Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a frequent, multifactorial and potentially life-threatening disease [1–3]. When VTE occurs in the absence of any major risk factor (i.e. surgery, prolonged immobilisation or trauma of the lower limb), the risk of recurrent VTE is high (i.e. about 10% at 1 year and 30% at 5 years) after anticoagulation therapy is stopped, and current guidelines recommended indefin...
