Abstract
Background: Chronic liver disease is a disease process of the liver that involves a process of progressive destruction and regeneration of the liver parenchyma leading to fibrosis and cirrhosis chronic liver disease refers to disease of the liver which had lasted over a period of 6 months. This study was conducted to evaluate the D-dimer levels among Sudanese patients with Chronic Liver Diseases. Materials and Method: In IbnSina hospital, Khartoum state, Sudan, a case control study was conducted. For this study, 100 participants were selected, 70 of them were patients known diagnosed by chronic liver diseases as a test group. Other 30 participants were normal healthy individual as control group. The plasma D-dimer level was measured by using MINDRAY auto analyzer BS 380). Results: In this study, the plasma D-dimer level has statistically significantly higher in chronic liver diseases patients (mean ± SD 0.634 ± 0.215 ug/l) compared to normal healthy control group (mean ± SD 0.223 ± 0.077 ug/l) with P value 0.000. Conclusion: The present study revealed that the D-dimer levels were statistically significant higher in chronic liver diseases patients.

Summary
Hemostasis is a dynamic process resulting from the balance between procoagulant and anticoagulant factors. In patients with hepatic parenchymal disease, the loss of functional parenchyma results in decreased synthesis of both coagulation factors and natural anticoagulant proteins. This study was conducted to evaluate the D-dimer levels among Sudanese patients with Chronic Liver Diseases. 100 participants were selected, 70 of them were patients known diagnosed by chronic liver diseases as a test group. Other 30 participants were normal healthy individual as control group. Results: In this study, the plasma D-dimer level has statistically significantly higher in chronic liver diseases patients (mean ± SD 0.634 ± 0.215 ug/l) compared to normal healthy control group (mean ± SD 0.223 ± 0.077 ug/l) with P value 0.000. Conclusion: The present study revealed that the D-dimer levels were statistically significant higher in chronic liver diseases patients
