Ukuqapha okunamandla kwe-D-Dimer kubikezela ukwakheka kwe-VTE:
Njengoba kushiwo ngaphambili, uhhafu wempilo ye-D-Dimer amahora angu-7-8, okungenxa yalesi sici ukuthi i-D-Dimer ingakwazi ukuqapha ngamandla futhi ibikezele ukwakheka kwe-VTE.Nge-hypercoagulability yesikhashana noma ukwakheka kwe-microthrombosis, i-D-Dimer izokhuphuka kancane bese yehla ngokushesha.Lapho kunokwakheka kwehlule legazi okusha okuqhubekayo emzimbeni, i-D-Dimer emzimbeni izoqhubeka nokukhuphuka, yethule inani eliphakeme elifana nejika lokuphakama.Ezigulini ezinezinga eliphezulu le-thrombosis, njengezimo ezinzima nezinzima, iziguli zangemva kokuhlinzwa, njll., uma kukhona ukwanda okusheshayo kwamazinga e-D-Dimer, kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuthi kungenzeka yini i-thrombosis.Ku-"Expert Consensus on the Screening and Treatment of Deep Venous Thrombosis in Traumatic Orthopedic Patients", kunconywa ukuthi ubheke ngokuguquguqukayo izinguquko ku-D-Dimer njalo emahoreni angama-48 ezigulini ezisengozini enkulu ukuya kwephezulu ngemva kokuhlinzwa kwamathambo.Iziguli ezine-D-Dimer eqhubekayo eqondile noma ephakeme kufanele zihlolwe i-imaging ngendlela efika ngesikhathi ukuze zibone i-DVT.
