What are the reasons for high D-dimer?

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

After surgery for cancer patients, prolonged bed rest, combined with naturally higher blood viscosity compared to normal individuals, can easily lead to thrombotic diseases. The first consideration is deep vein thrombosis. If necessary, further tests such as a complete blood coagulation panel should be conducted. It is important to stay active and drink plenty of water, and if needed, follow the doctor's guidance for anticoagulant treatment.
