Canine D-Dimer
D-Dimer is a specific degradation product of cross-linked fibrin under the action of plasmin.
The content of D-Dimer in normal body plasma is very low. Its increase indicates that fibrinthrombosis and fibrinolysis have occurred in the body.As one of the molecular markers ofhypercoagulability and hyperfibrinolysis in vivo. D-dimer is a sensitive indicator of DIC (disseminated intravascular coagulation) and a marker of systemic thrombosis (such aspulmonary embolism), and its elevation has diagnostic significance for DIC and systemic thrombosis. In addition D-dimer is also a marker of hypercoagulable states such as tumors and heart disease.
