Disseminated intravascular coagulation

Abstract: Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is an acquired syndrome characterized by widespread intravascular activation of coagulation that can be caused by infectious insults (such as sepsis) and non-infectious insults (such as trauma). The main pathophysiological mechanisms of DIC are inflammatory cytokine-initiated activation of tissue factor-dependent coagulation, insufficient control of anticoagulant pathways and plasminogen activator inhibitor 1-mediated suppression of fibrinolysis. Together, these cha… Show more

“…High cytokine levels are associated with the severity of sepsis and development of disseminated intravascular coagulation (for review see Gando et al, 2016). Interestingly, we found markedly higher levels of thrombin-antithrombin (TAT) complexes in plasma from P2X7/ compared to P2X7+/+ mice (Figure 3B), which indicates enhanced activation of the coagulation cascade in these mice.…”

“…DIC developing as a complication of sepsis is characterized by an elevation of plasmin activator inhibitor-1 (PAI-1) leading to alterations in fibrinolysis and microvascular thrombotic complications (47). Although microvascular injury in trauma and hemorrhagic shock may bear some similarities to DIC, the impairment in hemostasis seen from hyperfibrinolysis in trauma is contrasted from sepsis (37) which seldom has a bleeding tendency but is more frequently characterized by thrombotic sequelae.…”
