Overview

Patients with DIC may have a history of abruptio placentae, amniotic fluid embolism, aortic aneurysm, blood transfusion reaction, drug exposure (e.g. amphetamines), eclampsia, giant hemangioma, graft-versus-host disease, HELLP syndrome, hemolytic transfusion reaction, liver disease, malignancy (especially acute promyelocytic leukemia), sepsis (esp. gram-negative bacteria), severe allergic reaction, transplant rejection, trauma (e.g. fat embolism, head injury), venomous snake and viral hemorrhagic fever.

History

Patients with DIC may have a history of one of the following:[1][2][3]

Symptoms

Symptoms of DIC vary depending on the magnitude of the imbalance of hemostasis, type of the disease, and the underlying cause. Common manifestations of DIC include bleeding and/or thrombosis with the resulting end organ damage. Patients with acute DIC typically present with bleeding symptoms ranging from oozing from venipuncture sites, petechiae, and ecchymoses; whereas chronic DIC is often associated with hypercoagulable states and thromboembolic complications.

Bleeding Symptoms [3][4]

Thrombosis Symptoms

Organ Dysfunction

Symptoms of acute kidney injury
Symptoms of hepatic dysfunction
Symptoms of acute lung injury
Symptoms of neurologic dysfunction
Symptoms of adrenal insufficiency
