85380 Fibrin degradj d-dimer
Also known as: D-dimer, D-dimer assay
Measurement of D-dimer (fibrin degradation fragment specific to cross-linked fibrin) using immunoassay to detect active thrombosis and fibrinolysis.
In Plain Language
blood clot breakdown marker; thrombosis screening test
Clinical Context
High-sensitivity screening test for venous thromboembolism (pulmonary embolism, deep vein thrombosis); low D-dimer effectively excludes thromboembolism.
