D-dimer is Fibrin Degradation Product (FDP) which is used in the determination of whether clot formation has occurred or not.
In patients with no clinical reason to have a raised D-dimer concentration (e.g. post surgery, post physical trauma) an elevated result could indicate the formation of a thrombus, as in cases of Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT).
