Elevated D-dimer levels can be managed under a physician’s guidance with anticoagulant medications, such as aspirin or rivaroxaban. Dietarily, consuming foods like coix seed (Job’s tears), loofah, cucumber, shiitake mushrooms, and eggplant may help alleviate blood stasis or damp-heat symptoms. Additionally, regular follow-up examinations are essential.
