Patient's question:
Now I am 36 weeks pregnant, and my D-dimer blood test result is a bit high. Is it related to the previous brain surgery I had? Could it affect the baby if it's too high? What should I pay attention to?Doctor's answer:
At 36 weeks of pregnancy, the D-dimer is elevated. In this case, since it is in the late stage of pregnancy, the pregnant woman is in a hypercoagulable state, which may lead to a recurrence of elevated D-dimer. Elevated D-dimer is generally a normal phenomenon. However, it is necessary to comprehensively evaluate your other tests. If your blood pressure is high and you have significant lower limb edema, the possibility of gestational hypertension is high. With gestational hypertension, there is a risk of preeclampsia or even thrombosis.Wishing you a speedy recovery, a healthy body, and a wonderful life.
