D-Dimer, Quantitative:
Coupon Codes not valid for this testing.
Fasting Required: No
Lab: Quest Diagnostics
Specimen: Blood
Results: Average processing time 2-3 days
Note: Result turnaround times are an estimate and are not guaranteed. Our reference lab may need additional time due to weather, holidays, confirmation/repeat testing, or equipment maintenance.
Limitations: In patients with low or moderate probability of clots in the deep veins of the leg, a negative D-Dimer result generally rules out DVT. Some patients with blood clots will be false-negatives. This is most common among older patients, those who have undergone prolonged hospitalization, and those with markedly elevated C-reactive protein levels.
Description: D-dimer is a protein fragment that is produced when a blood clot dissolves in the body.
Alternate Name(s): Fragment D-dimer, Fibrin Degradation Fragment
