D-dimer is a breakdown product of fibrin clots. A normal level means there is no active thrombotic (clotting) process or DIC (disseminated intravascular coagulation).
A low or undetectable D-dimer is normal and confirms the absence of significant fibrin clot formation and breakdown.
No action needed.
Canine D-dimer: 25 ng/mL (Low)D-dimer is a breakdown product of fibrin clots. A normal level means there is no active thrombotic (clotting) process or DIC (disseminated intravascular coagulation).
No action needed.
Canine D-dimer: 100 ng/mLElevated D-dimer indicates fibrin clot formation and breakdown. Common causes include DIC (disseminated intravascular coagulation), pulmonary thromboembolism, recent surgery, noticeable inflammation, or neoplasia. DIC is a life-threatening emergency that requires immediate treatment.
This is a serious finding. Your vet will check platelet count, PT, PTT, and fibrinogen to evaluate for DIC. If your dog had recent surgery, a moderate elevation may be expected. DIC requires hospitalization and treatment of the underlying cause.
