Most people are unfamiliar with D-Dimer, and do not know what it does. What are the effects of high  D-Dimer on the fetus during pregnancy? Now let's get to know everyone together.

What is D-Dimer?
D-Dimer is an important monitoring index for routine blood coagulation in clinical practice. It is a marker of specific fibrinolysis process. A high level of  D-Dimer often indicates the occurrence of thrombotic diseases, such as lower extremity deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. D-dimer is also used for the diagnosis and treatment of fibrinolytic system diseases, such as thrombus extensive coagulation disorders, abnormal coagulation factors, etc. In some special diseases such as tumors, pregnancy syndrome, monitoring during thrombolytic therapy is also very meaningful.

What are the effects of high  D-Dimer on the fetus?
Elevated  D-Dimer may make delivery difficult, which may lead to fetal hypoxia, and high  D-Dimer in pregnant women may also increase the possibility of bleeding or amniotic fluid embolism during labor, putting pregnant women at risk of childbirth. At the same time, high  D-Dimer can also cause pregnant women to become emotionally tense and have symptoms such as physical discomfort. During pregnancy, due to the increase in uterine pressure, the pelvic vein will increase, which will induce thrombosis.

What is the significance of monitoring  D-Dimer during pregnancy?
High D-Dimer are more common in pregnant women, which reflects the hypercoagulable state and secondary fibrinolysis-enhanced state of pregnant women. Under normal circumstances, pregnant women have higher  D-Dimer than non-pregnant women, and the value will continue to increase with the prolongation of gestational weeks. . However, in some pathological conditions, the abnormal increase of  D-Dimer polymer, such as pregnancy-induced hypertension, has a certain hinting effect, because patients with gestational hypertension are more prone to thrombosis and DIC. In particular, prenatal examination of this indicator is of great significance for disease monitoring and treatment.

Everyone knows that the examination during pregnancy is very important to accurately detect the abnormal conditions of pregnant women and fetuses. Many pregnant mothers want to know what to do if the  D-Dimer is high in pregnancy. If the  D-Dimer is too high, the pregnant woman should consciously dilute the viscosity of the blood and pay attention to preventing the formation of thrombosis.

Therefore, regular obstetric examinations during pregnancy are very necessary to prevent risks to the fetus and pregnant women.
