D-Dimer test and COVID-19
The COVID-19 pandemic started to make the D Dimer test a lot more relevant and important for many more individuals. This is mostly because of the D Dimer levels within the patient have risen very high, which created many cases where the risks as well as complications for the patients receiving many potential risks and even severe conditions such as strokes, heart attacks and clotting in the lungs. If a COVID-19 patient has shown high amounts of D Dimer, a medical professional will be able to accurately determine and decide the best course of treatment for the patient through anticoagulant therapy, oxygen support and constant ICU monitoring.
The D-dimer blood test is a very simple and basic test that requires very little preparation in order for it to happen. All that will occur during the test will be a standard, routine-based blood sample collection through a vein in your arm. No special preparations are required for this test, and fasting is also not required for the test.
Receiving the D Dimer report and results will be able to show the accurate amount of D Dimer present within the body at the time in nanograms per milliliter. A normal amount of D Dimer that will be present within the body at time should be below 500 ng/mL, whereas elevated levels may raise some eyebrows and point to the evidence of blood clots in the body. Patients who are having very high amounts of D Dimer present in their bodies have been known to be found in conditions such as Pulmonary Embolism, DIC and even extreme cases of COVID-19. It is also very important to note that just by having a positive D-dimer test does not mean that a clot is in the body. Further testing is required through CT Scans, Ultrasound and MRI scans to ensure that a clot has not been formed.
The D Dimer test is a very reputable test for finding blood clots in the body, but that does not mean it is the most reliable test for that purpose. The testing process is rather sensitive in nature and is prone to not being very specific from time to time. There are many more conditions that can elevate the D Dimmer levels in individuals that do not involve blood clotting.
