LOINC display name : Fibrin D-dimer IA.FEU (PPP) [Mass/Vol];
LOINC long common name : Fibrin D-dimer [Mass/volume] in Platelet poor plasma by Immunoassay.FEU;
LOINC short name : D Dimer PPP IA.FEU-mCnc;
LOINC description : D-dimer is considered a coagulation or hemostasis assay and will usually require platelet
poor plasma (PPP); tests done on whole blood are the exception. Some assays do not
specify PPP (e.g. VIDAS D-Dimer Exclusion II, Biomerieux, Inc) per se but the whole
blood is spun down to yield plasma, which will be low in platelets. Spinning is the
most common way to obtain plasma low in platelets.;
