Estimation of the levels of D-dimer by use of an alternative method based in the reaction time of fibrinogen/fibrin degradation products assay

摘要

D-dimer and fibrinogen/fibrin degradation products (FDP) levels are elevated in thromboembolic disorders, and its assays are used in many laboratories for the investigation of these disorders. The aim of this study was to propose a cost saving alternative method for determination of D-dimer levels based in the reaction time of FDP assay.
