The high level of D-dimer may be caused by physiological factors, or it may be related to infection, deep vein thrombosis, disseminated intravascular coagulation and other reasons, and treatment should be carried out according to the specific reasons.
1. Physiological factors:
With the increase of age and the change of estrogen and progesterone levels during pregnancy, the blood system may be in a hypercoagulable state, so the blood coagulation function test finds that the D-dimer is high, which is a normal physiological situation, and there is no need to worry too much. regular medical observation;
2. Infection:
The patient's autoimmune function is damaged, the body is infected by pathogenic microorganisms, and inflammatory diseases occur. The inflammatory reaction may cause blood hypercoagulation, and the above manifestations appear. You can take amoxicillin capsules, cefdinir dispersible tablets and other drugs for treatment under the doctor's advice;
3. Deep vein thrombosis:
For example, venous thrombosis in the lower extremities, if the platelets in the blood vessels of the lower extremities aggregate or the coagulation factors change, it will cause the deep veins of the lower extremities to be blocked, resulting in venous return disorders. Elevated skin temperature, pain and other symptoms.
Under normal circumstances, anticoagulant drugs such as low molecular weight heparin calcium injection and rivaroxaban tablets should be used under the doctor's advice, and urokinase for injection can also be taken to relieve physical discomfort;
4. Disseminated intravascular coagulation:
Because the intravascular blood coagulation system in the body is activated, the generation of thrombin increases, which makes the blood coagulation stronger. If the above situation occurs, and some organs will be insufficient, it is necessary to use low molecular weight medicine under the guidance of a doctor. Heparin sodium injection, warfarin sodium tablets and other drugs improved.
In addition to the above reasons, it may also be related to tissue necrosis, myocardial infarction, pulmonary embolism, malignant tumor, etc., and differential diagnosis should be paid attention to. In addition to observing D-dimer, it is also necessary to consider the actual clinical symptoms of the patient, as well as the laboratory indicators of blood routine, blood lipids, and blood sugar.
Drink plenty of water in your daily life, avoid eating too much greasy food in your diet, and keep your diet light. At the same time, ensure regular work and rest, feel comfortable, and do some regular aerobic exercise to improve blood circulation.
