Differential Diagnosis
- Factors that can cause false-negative D-dimer
- Factors that can cause false-positive D-dimer
- Cancer and malignancy
- Recent surgery
- Infection (eg, pneumonia, sepsis)
- Pregnancy
- Age > 70 years
- DIC
- Trauma
- Arterial thrombosis
- ACS/AMI
- Vaso-occlusive sickle cell crisis
- Acute CVA
- Vasculitis
- Superficial phlebitis
Evaluation
- Traditional cutoff value = 500
- Age-adjusted (for over 50 years old) = age x 10
- Maintains high sensitivity while increasing specificity[1]
