HI
Thanks for posting your query .
D-dimer is non specific test . A positive D-dimer could be due to many disease and it doesn't point towards one particular disease .
Chills could be due to infection , hypothyroidism or adrenal problems . If you could upload the test reports I can go through it and tell what your friend is having .
Looking for your response.
