Hello,
Regarding your concern, I would explain that increased D-Dimmer levels could be related to inflammation (asthma and bronchitis).
You should know that D-Dimmer is not specific for blood clotting.
Its plasma levels can be elevated in many other disorder, including pregnancy, surgery, infections, inflammation, etc.
Hope to have been helpful!
