DISSEMINATED INTRAVASCULAR COAGULATION (DIC) PROFILE

• Test Usage:
  Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC) begins as a result of an uncontrolled local or systemic activation of coagulation due to an underlying disorder like snake bite, trauma, amniotic fluid / fat embolism, malignancy etc. DIC maybe acute or chronic, limited or diffuse and accompanied by hemorrhage or less commonly thrombosis. As coagulation is inappropriately & systemically activated, clotting factors and platelets are consumed leading to bleeding. Laboratory parameters usually show increased APTT & PT; decreased fibrinogen; increase in D-Dimer & fibrin degradation products and decreased platelet count.
