What are the symptoms of disseminated intravascular coagulation

Blood diseases are the most difficult to treat, so many people do not really understand them, delaying the best treatment period. Disseminated intravascular coagulation includes many diseases. On the basis of the condition, it will cause the patient's blood vessels and blood to be affected to a certain extent, and may be accompanied by various symptoms and complications. As a patient, you must be tested in time. When told by the doctor that there is a problem in this regard, go to the hospital for examination immediately, because blood diseases are very likely to cause problems in the body.

Disease Introduction

Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a clinical syndrome characterized by bleeding and microcirculatory failure caused by pathogenic factors that damage the microvascular system, leading to activation of coagulation, systemic microvascular thrombosis, massive consumption of coagulation factors and secondary hyperfibrinolysis.

In addition to the clinical manifestations of the primary disease, there are also clinical characteristics of each stage of disseminated intravascular coagulation, so the clinical manifestations are complex and vary greatly. In the early hypercoagulable stage of disseminated intravascular coagulation, there may be no clinical symptoms or mild symptoms, and thromboembolism and shock may also occur; the consumptive hypocoagulable stage is characterized by extensive bleeding in multiple sites as the main clinical manifestation; the secondary hyperfibrinolysis stage: bleeding is more extensive and severe, and internal bleeding is difficult to control; the organ failure stage may manifest as liver and kidney failure, and respiratory and circulatory failure is a common cause of death in patients. Typical clinical manifestations of disseminated intravascular coagulation are as follows:

1. Bleeding: Spontaneous bleeding in multiple locations (skin, mucous membranes, wounds, and puncture sites), which can be life-threatening in severe cases.

2. Shock or microcirculatory failure: Shock cannot be explained by the primary disease and is stubborn and difficult to correct. Dysfunction of the kidneys, lungs, brain and other organs will occur in the early stages.

3. Microvascular embolism: It affects the superficial skin and gastrointestinal mucosal microvessels. Depending on the affected organs, it can manifest as: refractory shock, respiratory failure, impaired consciousness, intracranial hypertension, and multiple organ failure.

4. Microangiopathic hemolysis: It rarely occurs and is characterized by progressive anemia, with the degree of anemia being disproportionate to the amount of bleeding, and occasionally yellowing of the skin and sclera.
