As soon as the damage is repaired, the clot is removed by plasmin deputed to break the clot (thrombus) into small pieces that are removed. The fragments that originate from the degradation of fibrin in the clot are called FDP or fibrin degradation products. One of the end products of clot degradation is D-dimer, which if present can be measured in the blood. Normally we are unable to detect it unless clots are being formed and subsequently degraded. In these cases the amount of D-dimer present within the bloodstream may increase.
