General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,
Your D dimer value is on the higher side. Since you are a smoker you also have higher risk of developing a DVT.
It could also be a condition called TAO.
In either case you will need an arterial and venous doppler of your leg. My advice would be to repeat a doppler.
Hope this was helpful.
