A Critical Marker for Thromboembolic Disease and DIC
In critically ill patients, get a rapid, quantitative assessment of fibrinolysis. D-dimer is an essential tool for investigating and managing conditions like DIC, IMHA, and other thromboembolic events.

The Tashikin D-dimer Test provides a quantitative measurement of a specific fibrin degradation product, which becomes elevated when cross-linked fibrin clots are broken down. This makes it a highly sensitive marker for the presence of thrombosis. A normal D-dimer level has a high negative predictive value, helping to rule out thromboembolic disease. Conversely, an elevated level is a key indicator in the diagnosis and management of life-threatening conditions like Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC), pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE), and Immune-Mediated Hemolytic Anemia (IMHA).
Your Path to Managing Critical Patients:
Rule Out Thrombosis
Use its high negative predictive value to confidently rule out significant thromboembolic disease in patients with a low clinical suspicion.
Support a DIC Diagnosis
An elevated D-dimer is one of the most sensitive laboratory abnormalities for DIC and a critical component of a full coagulation panel.
Monitor High-Risk Patients
Track D-dimer levels in patients at high risk for thrombosis, such as those with IMHA, protein-losing nephropathies, or post-operatively.

Prepare Sample
Collect whole blood, or prepare serum/plasma, according to standard laboratory procedures. Citrated plasma is often preferred.
Add Sample
Using a micropipette, add exactly 100µL of the prepared sample into the sample well of the test cassette.
Add Buffer
Add 2 drops of the provided assay buffer into the same well and start the timer immediately.
Read Result
At 10 minutes, insert the cassette into the Tashikin FIA Analyzer to obtain the quantitative D-dimer concentration.
Track Coagulation Markers in Real-Time
The status of a critically ill patient can change rapidly. By logging serial D-dimer results alongside other parameters in VetEx.ai, you can build a clear, visual timeline of their coagulopathic state, enabling more responsive and informed therapeutic interventions.
