Diagnosis of thromboembolic disease veins by determining the D-dimers and soluble fibrin

摘要

This application concerns a process and a test for the detection of the activation of coagulation, particularly when it is responsible for venous thromboembolic diseases, using the measurement of the levels of D-dimers and soluble fibrin produced during a fibrin lysis process activated in a blood sample. The method according to the invention is based on the comparison of levels of D-dimers which corresponds to the degradation of soluble fibrin and the level of D-dimers in the sample, with normal threshold values. The test of the invention can also be used to determine if anticoagulation in a patient is sufficient.
