D-dimer levels can be positive due to: 1  Pregnancy. 2  Liver disease. 3  Recent surgery or trauma. 4  High lipid or triglyceride levels. 5  Heart disease. 6  Being over 80 years old.
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. If you are having significant formation and breakdown of blood clot in your body, your D-dimer may be elevated. A negative D-dimer test means that a blood clot is highly unlikely.
