An elevated D-dimer level is not normal. It is usually found after a clot has formed and is in the process of breaking down. A negative D-dimer test means that a blood clot is highly unlikely. A positive D-dimer test doesn't mean that you have a clot. There may be other reasons it is positive. A fibrinogen activity test is also known as a Factor I assay. It's used to determine the level of fibrinogen in your blood. Fibrinogen, or factor I, is a blood plasma protein that's made in the liver. Fibrinogen is one of 13 coagulation factors responsible for normal blood clotting. D-dimer tests are used to help rule out the presence of an inappropriate blood clot (thrombus). Some of the conditions that the D-dimer test is used to help rule out include: Deep vein thrombosis (DVT) Pulmonary embolism (PE)
