Hi Doctor, my husband is covid positive. In his blood test report immunology IL6 is 150 pg/ml and D dimer is 541 ng/ml. Other parameters are normal. Are these values high?

IL 6 & D dimer both elevated, equal moderate inflammatory response. Needs monitoring for clot risk & worsening. Steroid & anticoagulant decisions rest with physician.

Take a D Dimer Test Test
