To take the orally disintegrating tablet (Risperdal M-Tabs): 1  Keep the tablet in its blister pack until you are ready to take it. 2  Use dry hands to remove the tablet and place it in your mouth. 3  Do not swallow the tablet whole.
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.
If the d-Dimer test result is above normal, that does not mean that you have a blood clot because other factors (such as infection, inflammation, pregnancy, etc.) can increase the d-Dimer. A d-Dimer test result above normal means that further testing may be needed to see if there is a clot.
