D-dimer higher than 1.5 mg/L in late pregnancy may be serious.
D-dimer is a degradation product of fibrinogen in the blood, and the normal range is less than 0.5 mg/mL. after pregnancy, D-dimer may be slightly elevated. If D dimer is higher than 1.5 mg/L in late pregnancy, the condition may be more serious.
Significantly higher D dimer in pregnant women may be a change in condition caused by abnormalities in coagulation, which may lead to thrombotic disorders. However, the diagnosis of thrombophilia cannot be made solely on the basis of increased D-dimer, but also needs to be combined with other indicators, such as ultrasound and imaging, for the diagnosis of the disease.
Pregnant women with elevated D-dimer need to strengthen their activities, regulate their lives and, if necessary, use medications such as aspirin enteric-coated tablets or low-molecular heparin calcium under the guidance of a professional doctor for treatment.
