Why To Buy

This D-Dimer test helps detect blood clots by measuring a substance released when a clot breaks down, which can help find the cause of your symptoms.

Finding the cause(s) of:

  • Blood clots: The D-Dimer test measures a substance released when a blood clot breaks down, helping to identify if a clot is present.
  • Chest pain: A D-Dimer test can help determine if chest pain is related to a blood clot in the lungs (pulmonary embolism).
  • Leg swelling: This test can help identify if leg swelling is caused by a blood clot in the leg (deep vein thrombosis).
  • Redness: The D-Dimer test can help determine if redness, especially in the leg, is related to a blood clot.
  • Shortness of breath: This test can help determine if shortness of breath is caused by a blood clot in the lungs.
  • Warmth: The D-Dimer test can help determine if warmth, particularly in a limb, is related to a blood clot.
