What causes high D Dimer and low ALT SGPT?

High D Dimer and low ALT SGPT can be caused by many reasons.

If your D Dimer is in between 0.1 ug/mL and 0.51 ug/mL and your ALT SGPT is in between 21 U/L and 72 U/L then you need not worry as these are the normal ranges for D Dimer and ALT SGPT respectively. But if your levels are lesser or greater than the above values, then there may be some problem in your body.

Some examples of conditions that can increase or decrease D Dimer levels include:

• Smoking
• Obesity
• Clotting disorder such as factor V Leiden mutation
• Antiphospholipid syndrome
• Prolonged immobility

Normal range of D Dimer : 0.1 - 0.51 ug/mL
