What is Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation?

Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation
Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation. Pathophysiological considerations in the clinical presentation of DIC. Systemic activation of coagulation together with cellular activation (endothelial cells, neutrophils, and platelets) leads to excessive thrombin generation and its functional consequences.Abbreviations: FDP, fibrin degradation products; NETs, neutrophil extracellular traps; PAR, protease-activated receptor.
