چکیده

D-Dimer testing is used for exclusion of deep venous thrombosis (DVT). AQT90 FLEX D-Dimer (AQT D-Dimer) is a novel time-resolved fluorescence based point-of-care test for quantification of D-Dimer in whole blood or plasma. Presently we have determined the analytical and clinical performance of AQT D-Dimer and compared it with four routine D-Dimer assays. The within-run CV of AQT D-Dimer was 3.8-7.2% and the between-run CV was 5.7- 9.7%. Excellent agreement was found between the D-Dimer concentrations recorded in citrate-, heparin- and EDTA stabilised blood. The plasma concentration of D-Dimer was determined with AQT D-Dimer, AxSYM, Biopool Auto-Dimer, STA-Liatest and Vidas New in 170 consecutive patients suspected for DVT. Phlebograms were positive in 64 patients (22 distal, 42 proximal). ROC-curves (ROC), the negative and positive predictive values (NPV, PPV), the sensitivity and specificity of the tests were compared. The area under ROC was comparable for all tests. NPV for all DVT was 87-88%, the sensitivity was 88-92% and the PPV was 45-55%. For proximal DVT the NPV and sensitivity were 100% for all tests, whereas the PPV was 37-48%. For distal DVT we obtained a NPV of 87-88%. The sensitivity was 64-77%, the PPV was 19-24% whereas a specificity of 32-58% was observed. The AQT D-Dimer demonstrates excellent analytical and diagnostic performance. The test is rapidly performed and the measuring range of the assay is wide. The NPV, PPV, specificity, sensitivity and AUC of AQT D-Dimer for both proximal and distal DVT are comparable to routine D-Dimer assays.

The value of D-Dimer as a biomarker in assessing disease severity and mortality in patients with Covid-19, a review study

The Covid-19 pandemic created by the 2019 Coronavirus-nCov has become one of the biggest health problems of the current century. Because this disease is new in human society and has no previous history, so our information about it is incomplete, and researchers are trying to study with extensive clinical studies and changes in the human body caused by the function of this virus. It is clear tha...

The Effect of Preanalytical, Analytical, and Postanalytical Variables on D-dimer Measurement

D-dimer is a soluble fibrin degradation product deriving from the plasmin-mediated degradation of cross-linked fibrin. D-dimer can hence be considered a biomarker of activation of coagulation and fibrinolysis, and it is routinely used for ruling out venous thromboembolism (VTE). D-dimer is increasingly used to assess the risk of VTE recurrence and to help define the uoptimal duration of anticoa...

Introduction: The Covid-19 virus affects the hemostasis system in infected people by causing thrombosis and it increases the level of D_dimer. This study was designed and conducted for the evaluation of correlation between D-dimer levels with disease severity in patients with Covid-19 referred to Hamedan Besat hospital. Methods and Materials: 366 patients with Covid-19 referred to Besat Hospit...
