This assay is intended for the quantitative determination of D-Dimer in human plasma and whole blood. D-dimer is a degradation product of cross linked fibrin. The d-dimer concentration is a measure of the fibrinolytic activity of plasmin in the vascular system. Elevated concentrations of d-dimer indicate increased coagulatory and fibrinolytic activity. With a normal d-dimer value, acute deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolisms may be ruled out with very high reliability.
