Age-adjusted D-dimer cutoffs can safely rule out deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in many suspected cases, according to the ...

A prospective validation study found that age-adjusted D-dimer thresholds can safely rule out lower extremity DVT for more ...

Diagnosis for deep vein thrombosis (DVT) typically involves imaging tests. Following diagnosis, a doctor can advise on suitable treatments. DVT occurs when blood clots form in deep veins. If these ...

A D-dimer test measures how much D-dimer protein is in the blood. This protein is present when blood clots break down. A typical range is 0-0.50 milligrams per liter (mg/L) of blood. D-dimer is a ...

Blood clots naturally occur to keep your body from losing too much blood after an injury. If your body does not properly break down a clot, you may develop a serious condition called a deep vein ...
