Objective: Ddimer test is used as a diagnosis test for acute disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC).This study was undertaken to evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of Ddimer test in the diagnosis of acute DIC and its role in diagnosis of subclinical DIC. Material and Method: A total of 18 patients of clinically diagnosed as acute DIC and 13 patients with subclinical DIC were included in the study. Result: All the patients had positive Ddimer test, and markedly prolonged PT, aPTT and TT were seen in 14 (77.78%) patients. Ddimer test was found to be highly specific but less sensitive for the diagnosis of acute DIC. Out of 13 patients predisposed to sub clinical DIC D-dimer was positive is 02 (15.38%) patients and PT, aPTT and TT were mildly prolonged in 02(15.38%) patients. Conclusion: It is suggested that D-dimer positivity for the diagnoses of subclinical DIC need to be considered with caution and to be supplemented by other coagulation test including serial follow up with ddimer and coagulation tests.
