CONT

Les D-Dimères sont les fragments de dégradation spécifiques de la fibrine issue de la lyse par la plasmine. Cette enzyme protéolytique en dégradant ainsi le thrombus libère en fait des fragments de taille variable (X, Y, E, D) communs à la fibrine et au fibrinogène. Les fragments DD ou D-Dimères représentent donc l'étape ultime de dégradation de la fibrine.
