D-DIMER IS MARKER OF DIAGNOSTICS, MONITORING AND PREDICTION OF THROMBOSES
D-dimer (the final product of fibrinolysis) - is indicator of thromboembolic status or predisposition to thrombosis and has enough high specificity. However, its specificity is limited by the multiplicity of pathological states associated with its increasing, heterogeneity of its composition and inequality of monoclonal antibodies in different kits of reagents for D-dimer quantitative determination. Nevertheless, it is impossible to deny its diagnostic, monitoring and prognostic importance. Further investigations for standardization and (or) harmonization of methods for quantitative D-dimers determination are warranted.
