Introduction
An FDP level above 5 μg/ml is generally considered abnormal. After a hospital evaluation, appropriate treatment can be selected based on individual circumstances. Medications such as hydrochlorothiazide tablets or metoprolol succinate extended-release tablets may be used under a doctor's guidance. Elevated FDP levels may also be associated with conditions such as myocardial infarction or cerebral infarction, requiring professional diagnostic testing.

FDP levels exceeding 5 μg/mL are generally considered abnormal. After a hospital examination, appropriate treatment methods can be selected based on individual circumstances.

FDP stands for fibrin degradation products. These products inhibit the synthesis of fibrin and exert antithrombin effects, as well as suppress platelet release and aggregation. FDP levels can reflect the intensity of fibrinolytic activity in the body. The normal range in humans is typically less than 5 μg/mL; therefore, levels above 5 μg/mL are considered elevated and require timely treatment.

Elevated FDP levels may be related to dietary habits. Regular consumption of excessively greasy foods can increase blood viscosity, leading to higher FDP levels. In mild cases, adjusting the diet and reducing intake of fatty foods may help alleviate the condition. However, individuals with blood-related disorders such as hypertension or hyperlipidemia may also experience elevated FDP levels. In such cases, medication under a doctor's guidance—such as hydrochlorothiazide tablets or metoprolol succinate extended-release tablets—may be necessary.

In addition, elevated FDP levels could also be associated with conditions like myocardial infarction or cerebral infarction, requiring professional diagnostic testing.
