After the Coronavirus epidemic, there are indications that a significant number of COVID-19 survivors experience long-term respiratory, cardiovascular, and psychological issues, necessitating the assessment of these complications for effective healthcare resource allocation. The test can help identify blood clotting problems. A positive result may suggest a blood clot has recently formed and broken down. In our study, the post-covid-19 d-dimer concentration was measured, and three groups were taken for each of males and females, with a total of 30 samples. The first group are those infected once with Covid-19 and then recovered included (5) males and (5) females, and the highest concentration found in the sample (10) was 211.2 μg FEU/ml in females, it within normal limits (500 μg FEU/ml). The second group are those hits twice with Covid-19 and then recovered, it consisted from 10 samples (5 males, 5 females). The highest concentration in sample (20) was 350.62 μg FEU/ml and it has short period between hits, also was the short period between hits higher concentration from long period between hits. In the last group, those hits three times with Covid-19, then recovered, included (10) samples (5 males, 5 females), maximum concentration in sample (30) was 386.7 μg FEU/ml, it has the short period between hits. In three group was d-dimer concentration higher in females from males, and in short period between hits higher long period. The factor can increase d-dimer age, Gender, diseases, treatment, pregnancy, trauma and the vaccine to covid-19
