Thrombosis journal·2025

Diagnosing disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is challenging. Hemostatic molecular markers offer improved sensitivity and specificity over traditional coagulation tests for early and accurate DIC diagnosis.

Area of Science:

  • Hematology
  • Pathophysiology

Context:

  • Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) diagnosis relies on global coagulation tests and molecular markers.
  • Traditional tests like prothrombin time ratio and fibrinogen have high specificity but low sensitivity for DIC.
  • Platelet count and FDP show good sensitivity but low specificity.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate the utility of hemostatic molecular markers in diagnosing DIC.
  • To compare the diagnostic accuracy of molecular markers against conventional coagulation tests.

Summary:

  • Hemostatic molecular markers, including thrombin-antithrombin complex, soluble fibrin, thrombomodulin, and plasminogen activator inhibitor-I, reflect specific aspects of DIC pathophysiology.
  • These markers are considered more reliable for DIC diagnosis than global coagulation tests.

  • DIC presentation varies, with hyperfibrinolysis in leukemia-associated DIC and hypofibrinolysis in septicemia-associated DIC.

    • Impact:

    • Early diagnosis and treatment of DIC are crucial for improving patient prognosis.
    • Hemostatic molecular markers are vital tools for the timely and accurate diagnosis of DIC.
    • Understanding DIC subtypes (e.g., leukemia vs. septicemia) aids in targeted management.
