What is the main cause of disseminated intravascular coagulation
Answers
When you are injured, proteins in the blood that form blood clots travel to the injury site to help stop bleeding. If these proteins become abnormally active throughout the body, you could develop DIC. The underlying cause is usually due to inflammation, infection, or cancer.
The causes for disseminated intravascular coagulation are listed below :
● Severe trauma
● Severe infection or Sepsis
● Surgery
● Inflamation
● Tumour or Cancer
● Hypothermia
● Venomous snake bites
● Burns
● Pancreatitis
● Complications during pregnancy
One of the major cause of disseminated intravascular coagulation is the over activeness of the proteins which are used for blood coagulation.
Disseminated intravascular coagulation is a pathological disease in which the patient suffer from formation of blood clots in the whole body within the small veins which results in impaired blood flow to the tissues.
This disease is very fatal and rare.
