Abstract

Determining the value of D-Dimer is a routine test in case of suspecting thromboembolic event. In patients on chronic dialysis, baseline concentrations for biomarkers have changed in widespread clinical use, which prompted us to measure the concentration of D-dimer, due to disorders of hemostasis in chronic kidney failure. From the evaluation of the findings of D-dimer in 67 patients and the available literature we can conclude that the value of the test in the diagnosis of thromboembolic events has significantly decreased.
