A D-Dimer is most commonly requested when the possibility of a Deep Venous Thrombosis (DVT: a blood clot in the leg) or Pulmonary Embolism (PE: a blood clot in the lung) is being considered. The test is used as risk-stratifying test, because it may make further testing unecessary in the correctly-selected patient.
