It helps diagnose conditions involving abnormal clot formation or breakdown, such as DIC.
What sample is required?
Citrated plasma collected in a blue-top tube is needed.
What is the reflex end-point titre?
If FDP levels are high, an additional titration step is performed to determine the exact concentration.
Does this test require fasting?
No, fasting is not required for FDP testing.
How does Metropolis Healthcare perform this test?
Metropolis uses advanced coagulation analyzers for reliable detection of FDP levels.
What conditions can increase FDP levels?
Severe infections, DIC, liver disease, trauma, or major bleeding may cause elevated FDPs.
How are high FDP levels interpreted?
They indicate excessive clot breakdown and require correlation with clinical findings and other coagulation tests
