Canine D-Dimer Test Kit

Canine D-dimer is a small fragment among fibrin degradation products. It is an important indicator reflecting the activation of the coagulation and fibrinolysis systems in the body. Under normal circumstances, the concentration of D-dimer in dogs is extremely low.

Clinical application:

• Diagnosis of Thrombotic Diseases:

When thrombosis forms in a dog's body, such as deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, etc., the fibrinolytic system is activated and the level of D-dimer increases.

For example, an elderly dog suddenly shows lameness. After examination, it is found that there is a thrombosis in the leg vein, and at this time, the level of D-dimer is significantly increased upon testing.

• Evaluation of Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC):

DIC is a serious pathological process. The increase in the level of canine D-dimer is helpful for diagnosing DIC and judging its severity.

• Monitoring the Risk of Postoperative Thrombosis:

After some major surgeries in dogs, monitoring the level of D-dimer can promptly detect the potential risk of thrombosis.

Like a dog that has undergone a major orthopedic surgery, continuous monitoring of D-dimer after the operation. If the level keeps rising, it suggests that thrombosis may occur.
