This review details disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) pathophysiology, focusing on microcirculatory issues and endothelial dysfunction. It covers normal hemostasis, immuno-modulators, and treatment strategies for this critical condition.

Area of Science:

  • Pathophysiology
  • Hematology
  • Critical Care Medicine

Background:

  • Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) involves complex pathophysiological events.
  • Endothelial dysfunction and microcirculatory disturbances are key contributors to DIC.
  • Normal hemostatic functions of the vascular endothelium are crucial for maintaining hemostasis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the main pathophysiological events leading to disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC).
  • To emphasize the roles of microcirculatory disturbances and endothelial dysfunction in DIC.
  • To discuss the interrelation between the endothelium, immuno-modulators, and proteolytic cascade systems.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on DIC pathophysiology.

Related Experiment Videos

  • Description of normal hemostatic functions of the vascular endothelium.
  • Discussion of the connection between endothelium and immuno-modulators.

    • Main Results:

    • Microcirculatory disturbances and endothelial dysfunction are central to DIC.
    • The interplay between proteolytic cascades and the endothelium is critical.
    • Differentiating local versus systemic events is important for understanding DIC.

    Conclusions:

    • DIC involves complex endothelial and microcirculatory dysfunctions.
    • Understanding these mechanisms is vital for effective DIC management.
    • Treatment cornerstones and essential laboratory tests for DIC are outlined.
