Used to run these tests. Fibrin Degradation Products. Means they are clotting up inside. As clots form, mechanisms in the body release enzymes to dissolve them (clots dissolving produce the FDP).
The name for this is Disseminated Intervascular Coagulation (DIC). Strokes, Heart Attacks, Pulmonary Embolism, and Deep Vein Thrombosis can all be results. Any of those can prove fatal or debilitating.
Oddly, with DIC your body's supply of clotting factors and platelets can be exhausted, in which case you can bleed out.
DIC causes strokes? Platelets can be exhausted? Yeah I've known that, but I thought only the women bleed out. 😆 couldn't help it and sorry but I can't DoMagnum, I'm allergic to latex. 🤣
Hey I know we need to keep this forum on a more serious note but we've got to have a laugh sometimes, and this comment and your name... I couldn't help myself! Have a great day bud. Thanks!
