Ukuqapha okunamandla kwe-D-Dimer kubikezela ukwakheka kwe-VTE:
Njengoba kushiwo ngaphambili, isigamu sokuphila kwe-D-Dimer singamahora angu-7-8, okungenxa yalesi sici ukuthi i-D-Dimer ingakwazi ukuqapha nokubikezela ukwakheka kwe-VTE ngokuguquguqukayo. Ukuze kube nokujiya kwegazi okuhamba kancane noma ukwakheka kwe-microthrombosis, i-D-Dimer izokhula kancane bese yehla ngokushesha. Uma kukhona ukwakheka kwe-clot yegazi elisha okuqhubekayo emzimbeni, i-D-Dimer emzimbeni izoqhubeka nokwenyuka, iveze i-elevation curve ephezulu. Ezigulini ezine-thrombosis ephezulu, njengezimo ezibukhali nezinzima, iziguli ezilandela ukuhlinzwa, njll., uma kukhona ukwanda okusheshayo kwamazinga e-D-Dimer, kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuthi kungenzeka yini i-thrombosis. "Esivumelwaneni Sochwepheshe Sokuhlolwa Nokwelashwa Kwe-Deep Venous Thrombosis Ezigulini Ezihlukunyezwa Ngamathambo", kunconywa ukuthi kubhekwe ngokuqhubekayo izinguquko ku-D-Dimer njalo emahoreni angu-48 ezigulini ezisengozini ephakathi kuya kweziphezulu ngemva kokuhlinzwa kwamathambo. Iziguli ezine-D-Dimer eqhubekayo eqinisekile noma ephakeme kufanele zihlolwe ngezithombe ngesikhathi esifanele ukuze zithole i-DVT.
