My daughter went to the ER with calf pain and swelling and they took blood . Her D dimer was elevated but the dopier showed not clot. She also has SOB and chest pain complaints. What should be done now? What Doctor should follow up with her? Family history
Hello, Welcome to the magical world of health care, I went through your query, and let me inform you that elevated D dimer means greater propensity to develop clot and not the fact that clot as big which can be identified by Doppler has formed. But your daughter will need to take therapy to reduce formation of clots in the blood. See your doctor for that I hope my advice would have been useful, in decision-making regarding your treatment, still if you have any clarifications or doubts feel free to contact back. I hope a 5-star rating if you feel guided in your treatment, Thanks.
