OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that a low D-dimer level has a high negative predictive value for acute pulmonary embolism (PE) among patients undergoing diagnostic pulmonary angiography. DESIGN: Blinded comparison of quantitative plasma D-dimer levels, measured using a monoclonal antibody assay, ...
QuantitativeD-dimeris a useful tool for the diagnosis and prediction of recurrence ofVTE[29,30]. It is also a sensitive early marker ofDICbut with low specificity [20]. In COVID-19, D-dimer is elevated in 36% of cases with an average level of 0.9 mg/L [4,7]. A higher D-dimer...
For patients with moderate or low clinical evaluation potential, PE can be excluded if the high-sensitivity D-dimer quantitative test result is negative. If D-dimer is positive, further confirmatory examinations are recommended, such as CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) (highly recommended). 02 ...

D-dimer is one of the protein fragments that are produced when a blood clot dissolves in the body. When a blood vessel or tissue is injured and begins to bleed, a process called hemostasis is initiated by the body to create a blood clot to limit and eventually stop the bleeding. During ...
There are several different methods of testing for D-dimer. Most of the D-dimer tests that yield quantitative results (http:\/\/labtestsonline\/glossary\/quantitative-results) are done in a hospital lab, while those that yield qualitative (http:\...

A nice review of some of the newer d-dimer tests can be found bySchutgens RE et alfrom 2003. Realize for the purpose of this post, we are specifically discussing quantitative d-dimer tests. How do you perform age adjusted d-dimer testing?
