Vcheck measures for the highly sensitive marker indicating thromboembolism with its D-dimer test. D-dimer is produced from degradation of crosslinked fibrin. Plasmin is the enzyme responsible for thrombolysis and acts on both fibrinogen and fibrin. Plasmin cleaves crosslinked fibrin resulting in a cleavage product consisting of 2 linked D domains or D-dimer.

Clinical Application

• A good screening test for DIC (Disseminated intravascular coagulation) and Acute Thromboembolic Disease
• Assessment of Pulmonary Thromboembolism
• Monitoring of Antithrombotic therapy
• Prediction of survival prognosis after surgery
