What causes high D Dimer and low MCHC?

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

If your D Dimer is in between 0.1 ug/mL and 0.51 ug/mL and your MCHC is in between 31.5 g/dL and 34.5 g/dL then you need not worry as these are the normal ranges for D Dimer and MCHC 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
