Age-adjusted D-dimer cutoffs can safely rule out deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in many suspected cases, according to the ADJUST-DVT trial. For patients ages 50 and older with a nonhigh or unlikely ...
A prospective validation study found that age-adjusted D-dimer thresholds can safely rule out lower extremity DVT for more people with low to intermediate suspicion in the first place. The ...
D-dimer testing is useful for excluding venous thromboembolism (VTE), where a low D-dimer level helps exclude deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE).1 However, elevated levels are ...
Does an elevated ultrasensitive D-dimer level in a patient whose pre-test probability puts him at low risk for pulmonary embolus (PE) indicate an increased risk for PE or deep venous thrombosis (DVT)?
