the test that is called d diamer, to show if there is a possible blood clot. My friend got very sick and had severe chills for 8 days, said he could not get warm and it was very warm weather. He went to out pt. and the Doctor did a lot of tests, and advised him to see his G.P. as the test the d diamer was positive. what does this mean
HI Thanks for posting your query.  D-dimer is non-specific test. A positive D-dimer could be due to many diseases and it doesn't point towards one particular disease.  Chills could be due to infection, hypothyroidism or a Chat Doctor.  If you could upload the test reports I can go through it and tell what your friend is having. Looking for your response. Regards.
