After, COVID-19, my D-dimer increased. What if it triples again?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I can understand your concern. According to your statement, you have been suffering from post-COVID syndrome. Your recent D-dimer is 0.74 ng/mL, which is above normal. Raised D-dimer levels may result from obesity, cardiovascular disease, older age, viral infections like COVID-19. The value of D-dimer higher than normal is significant, and it may indicate a future chance of developing coagulopathy or blood clots. Three times or four times higher than the normal value are also significant and also indicate the chance of developing coagulopathy or blood clots.

As you have a recent history of undergoing investigations like CT (computed tomography) scan that exclude pulmonary embolism or blood clots and your D-dimer level is not greater than two-fold of an upper limit of normal D-dimer level, get a blood D-dimer test done after a few days. Take care.
