Mildly high D-dimer in pregnant women does not require specific treatment, and anticoagulation is needed if D-dimer is severely high.
The vast majority of pregnant women only have mildly high D-dimer, generally within 2-3 times of the upper limit of the normal range. This value is physiological and is mainly caused by the high coagulation state of the blood in a woman’s body after pregnancy. Mildly high D-dimer does not require special treatment, but should be observed regularly and changes in the value should be noted.
If the D-dimer exceeds 5-10 times the upper limit of the normal range, or even higher, it suggests that the coagulation system in the woman’s body is over-enhanced, which increases the risk of thrombosis and may affect the growth and development of the fetus, and anticoagulation is required at this time.
For mild D-dimer mildly high, usual attention should be paid to observation, do not need special treatment for the time being, if aggravated, should consult a doctor in time to receive treatment.
