D-dimer, the final degradation product of cross-linked fibrin, is typically elevated in patients with acute venous thromboembolism.1 D-dimer testing is an integral part of validated algorithms for the diagnosis of deep-vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE)2
Enzyme Immunoassay for the quantitative determination of D-dimer in human serum and plasma.
