Reference ranges for D-dimer levels in Malaysian women in the three trimesters of pregnancy.

CONCLUSIONS: Reference ranges for D-dimer in pregnant Malaysian women have been establised by this study. Whether these ranges can be used to determine cut-off levels for the exclusion of VTE at different stages of pregnancy is doubtful, as the levels rise continuously through pregnancy, and some very high outlying values occur in apparently normal near-term pregnancy.
