| description | D-dimer is considered a coagulation or hemostasis assay and will usually require platelet poor plasma (PPP); tests done on whole blood are the exception. Some assays do not specify PPP (e.g. VIDAS D-Dimer Exclusion II, Biomerieux, Inc) per se but the whole blood is spun down to yield plasma, which will be low in platelets. Spinning is the most common way to obtain plasma low in platelets. | |
| status | ACTIVE | |
Fully-Specified Name | ||
| component | Fibrin D-dimer | |
| property | MCnc = Mass Concentration | |
| time | Pt = Point in time: To identify measures at a point in time. This is a synonym for “spot” or “random” as applied to urine measurements. | |
| system | PPP = Platelet poor plasma | |
| scale | Qn = Quantitative: The result of the test is a numeric value that relates to a continuous numeric scale. Reported either as an integer, a ratio, a real number, or a range. The test result value may optionally contain a relational operator from the set {<=, <, >, >=}. Valid values for a quantitative test are of the form "7", "-7", "7.4", "-7.4", "7.8912", "0.125", "<10", "<10.15", ">12000", 1-10, 1:256 | |
| method | IA.FEU | |
