We clearly found a change of D-dimer during pregnancy. When D-dimer was higher than 3.2 microg/mL, the percentage of ultrasonographically positive women was high. We propose that women with D-dimer higher than 3.2 microg/mL are closely monitored for prevention of pulmonary thromboembolism.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
