D-dimer is produced from the degradation of crosslinked fibrin and identifies the presence of thromboembolism. This results in a cleavage product consisting of two linked D domains or D-dimer. Plasma concentrations of D-dimer can be used to rapidly detect thrombotic complications and Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC).
