D-dimers and different clinical applications

The next IFCC webinar: "D-dimers and different clinical applications" July 6, 2022

Dimers is a determination that has several applications. Its classic use is to rule out thrombosis and can be also used to predict its recurrence.

D-Dimer (DD) is a molecule that comes from the degradation of stabilized fibrin. Its presence indicates fibrinolysis secondary to the formation of a fibrin clot.

Therefore, it constitutes a specific marker of fibrinolytic activity in processes that produce excessive fibrin formation, even without being thrombotic.

In relation to cancer, it can be used to exclude thrombosis, also as a predictor of venous thromboembolism, as a prognosis of recurrence of thrombosis, and as a prognostic factor for the disease.

This webinar comprises three following presentations of 20 min each followed by 20 min of a panel discussion at the end.
