    The devastating covid 19 has spread worldwide since December 2019 the initial stages of this disease can be linked with increased d dimer, prolonged PT and high levels of fibrinogen indicating the links between coagulation, thrombosis and covid 19 pandemic. In these review article we analysis different patient with different d dimer levels in SARS COV-2. D dimer levels are a potent marker of patient suffering or having complication related to thrombosis and coagulation. Studies have reported 3 to 4 folds increased in d dimer levels have been indicated with worst prognosis. Measuring coagulation parameters and d dimer levels in the early stages of the disease can help in controlling and proper management of covid 19 diseases. Hematological abnormalities like lymphopenia, thrombocytopenia, elevated d dimer levels, elevated cytokines, FDP”s, interleukin 6 (IL6) appear as important .. Read More»
