High value of D-Dimer
I am a 29 yr old lady. I was diagnosed with covid 19 and was admitted in hospital on 04 May 21 with O2 saturation between 71-77, CT severity score in lungs was 27/40 indicating CORADS 5. I was discharged on 12 May 21 with O2 saturation 90-92. D-Dimer value checked on 18 May 21 was 4260 and CRP value 184 and Retest of D-Dimer and CRP was taken again on 19 May 21 with value of 3079 and 96 respectively. Subsequently CT-PA was taken and it indicated no clots, however CT Severity score in lungs was 15/25. On 26 May 21, D-Dimer value indicated 2604 and CRP value indicated 10. Presently, my O2 saturation in resting condition is 98 and after an activity varies from 94 to 96.
Can you please tell if I should worry about D-Dimer value or carry on with normal life expecting that D-Dimer will reduce subsequently...!!

Hello mam
If patient has no other underlying disease like diabetes or other then also a patient should be kept at least on minimal dosage of blood thinner as per the post COVID guidelines.as a cause of prevention. If other symptoms and underlying disease present then treatment would be different.
