AUTOMATED D-DIMER PANEL

What is AUTOMATED D-DIMER PANEL test?

Automated D-Dimer Panel is a blood test that evaluates clot formation and inflammation in the body. It measures D-Dimer and C-Reactive Protein (CRP). D- Dimer is a a protein fragment produced when a blood clot dissolves. Elevated levels of D-Dimer indicate active clot formation and breakdown, suggesting conditions like deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), or disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). C-Reactive Protein (CRP) is a marker of inflammation in the body. High CRP levels can indicate infection, inflammatory disorders, or tissue injury and can be used alongside D-dimer to assess overall risk.

Automated D-Dimer Panel provides rapid, accurate, and reproducible results, useful in emergency and high-risk clinical situations.

Why consider AUTOMATED D-DIMER PANEL test?

Automated D-Dimer Panel is considered to:

• Detect or rule out thromboembolic events like DVT or PE.
• Evaluate systemic inflammation along with clotting activity.
• Assist in monitoring clotting risk in hospitalized or high-risk patients.
• Help in early detection of complications such as DIC.
• Provide quick screening for combined clotting and inflammatory conditions.

Who should get tested for AUTOMATED D-DIMER PANEL test?

Automated D-Dimer Panel test is recommended for individuals who:

• Show symptoms of blood clots, e.g., leg swelling, chest pain, or shortness of breath.
• Are hospitalized, post-surgery, or immobilized, increasing thrombotic risk.
• Have suspected disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC).
• Require monitoring of inflammatory and clotting conditions simultaneously.
• Are at high risk due to infection, autoimmune disorders, or cardiovascular disease.

Thrombophilia is a medical condition in which the blood has an increased tendency to form abnormal clots (thrombi) in veins or arteries. These clots can partially or completely block normal blood flow, leading to serious health problems such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary embolism (PE), stroke, or recurrent pregnancy loss. Thrombophilia can be inherited (genetic) or acquired (developed later in life).
