RECOMMENDATION: Recent literature supports the use of D-dimer as a serological marker for the diagnosis of PJIs. D-dimer has been shown to best perform at a threshold of 850 ng/mL. However, this threshold was determined internally from a cohort in a single institution study. Further studies are needed in order to validate this threshold or establish a more rigorous threshold.
