I am a 28 year old female.  I had my 4th child July 27, 2010.  3 days after his birth I was hospitalized for post partum pre-eclymasia and pulminary embolisim.  I was tested for everything in the book.  All tests came back negative for any genetic blood clotting disease, so the high blood pressure and PE were related to the delivery of my son.  My blood was thinned in the hospital with Heparin and I was sent home to give myself lovenox shots and put on cumadin for 6 months.  I finished my 6th month treament of coumadin and was taken off of it December 17th 2010.  My question is...  I had another ddimer test yesterday and the results were 1.02.  I am Rh- ... could my Rh factor have anything to do with a slightly elevated Ddimer result?
Hi, dear. I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. Your have Rh negative blood group. But it has nothing to do with your elevated d dimer. If your fetus is Rh positive then it can lead problem in baby at time of delivery. But as far as d dimer is concern, it has nothing to do with your Rh negative blood group. So don't worry about that. Thanks for using Chat Doctor. Wish you a very good health.
