Although the test is simple to perform, interpretation may be challenging. This is because other small fragments involved in the homeostasis of fibrinogen and fibrin are measured by the test in addition to ''bona fide'' fibrin degradation products. In general, an increase in FDP corresponds to increased fibrinolysis. This can be due to a local problem of fibrin generation such as thrombosis, trauma or chronic bleeding, or be related to a systemic process, usually DIC<sup>3</sup>.
