• D. Effects of Increased D-dimer:
* Indicates the presence of a blood clot that is being broken down.
* May require further investigation to identify the location and cause of the clot.
• E. Causes of Decreased D-dimer:
* D-dimer is not typically decreased below the normal range.
• F. Effects of Decreased D-dimer:
* A normal D-dimer makes a thromboembolic event (DVT or PE) less likely, but does not completely rule it out.
V. Platelet Count 📈
• Principle: The amount of what we have in our blood.
• The normal ranges: 150,000 to 450,000 cells
• When is low level it leads to? Lead bleeding and bruising, you will likely have high risk.
• When is high count? Risk of blood
• This happens to be very import
