I have gone through 3 d dimer test all due to random check, 2 from local lab and one from central lab
With values and date
Done from Local lab:
1 jun (d dimer - .62)
2 jun (d dimer - 1.7 ;
crp- 6)
After single dose of apixaban 2.5 (13 hour prior to test)and methylprednisolone 8mg ( 3 hour prior to test)
Gone for test to cross check
Done from Central lab:
3 Jun ( d dimer -.25; crp- .91)
A single dose may change dimer from (1.7 - .25 )
Can this be possible?
Can there be technical sensitivity in this test?
Whom shall I trust central lab or local ?
Presently consuming 2.5 mg OD Shall I unnecessaryly consume apixaban ?
There where no symptoms and test was randomly done!!
Which lab shall I follow up and how long shall i go for next test without medication?
