Increased Prevalence of Elevated D-Dimer Levels in Patients on Direct Oral Anticoagulants: Results of a Large Retrospective Study

Increased Prevalence of Elevated D-Dimer Levels in Patients on Direct Oral Anticoagulants: Results of a Large Retrospective Study

Elevated D-dimer levels during anticoagulant therapy with vitamin K antagonists (VKA) are associated with an increased risk of thrombosis. It has been hypothesized that elevated D-dimer levels in patients receiving direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) also indicate an increased risk of thrombosis recu...
