Ottawa, ON - Performing a D-dimer test in addition to clinical assessment of patients with suspected deep vein thrombosis (DVT) simplifies diagnosis of the disorder, a new randomized study has shown.

New research suggests that it may be possible to simplify the diagnosis of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) without compromising accuracy. Contrary to the standard practice of administering several tests to ...

Although D-dimer results within a typical range can rule out pulmonary embolism, high results alone can’t diagnose this condition. Doctors usually need to run extra tests to make a diagnosis. A ...

A screening blood test originally validated in seriously ill patients without COVID-19 is still clinically useful for ruling out pulmonary embolism in patients hospitalized with the coronavirus, a ...

The D-dimer test is often used to rule out the presence of venous thromboembolism; however, the test has been considered unreliable in postoperative patients because D-dimer levels may rise after ...

A D-dimer test is a lab test that helps diagnose blood clotting conditions. The test measures the levels of a protein fragment that remains in your blood after multiple blood clots break down. A high ...
