Fibrin D-dimer [Mass/volume] in Platelet poor plasma by Immunoassay.FEU

D Dimer PPP IA.FEU-mCnc

Definition

  • D-dimer is considered a coagulation or hemostasis assay and will usually require platelet poor plasma (PPP); tests done on whole blood are the exception. Some assays do not specify PPP (e.g. VIDAS D-Dimer Exclusion II, Biomerieux, Inc) per se but the whole blood is spun down to yield plasma, which will be low in platelets. Spinning is the most common way to obtain plasma low in platelets.
