Hi, some more information is needed. Why did you do a D dimer? Did you have covid recently? What day of your illness is it? Also is this the only value or you did few other tests? If yes, then is the D dimer in decreasing trend?
For covid scenario also this D dimer is not very elevated. In covid blood thinners are advised only if D dimer is elevated more than twice the upper limit or there are other risk factors like severe illness which had required ICU stay, limited mobility and so on.
Next Steps
Seek consultation with doctor with all you reports and for detailed history to decide on further management
