Mechanism and laboratory diagnosis of disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC).

 

Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a condition in which blood clots form throughout the body, blocking small blood vessels. Symptoms may include chest pain, shortness of breath, leg pain, problems speaking, or problems moving parts of the body. As clotting factors and platelets are used up, bleeding may occur. This may include blood in the urine, blood in the stool, or bleeding into the skin.Complications may include organ failure.

Diagnosis is typically based on blood tests.

 Findings may include low platelets, low fibrinogen, high INR, or high D-dimer.

Treatment is mainly directed towards the underlying condition.
