Disseminated intravascular coagulation associated with hepatitis in late pregnancy.

Jaundice and disseminated intravascular coagulopathy in pregnancy.

Jaundice in pregnancy can be caused by viral hepatitis, intrahepatic cholestasis of pregnancy, choledocholithiases, HELLP syndrome (hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, and a low platelet count), severe preeclampsia, and acute fatty liver of pregnancy. I Acute fatty liver of pregnancy occurs in approximately 1 in 13,000 pregnancies. More than 90% of patients with acute fatty liver of pregnancy ha...

Plasma Fibrinogen and D-dimer in Children With Sepsis: A Single-center Experience

Background & Objectives:  In sepsis, enhanced fibrin formation, impaired fibrin degradation, and intravascular fibrin deposition lead to a prothrombotic state. The current study aimed at measuring various coagulation parameters to predict an early marker for disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Methods: The current prospective s...

Disseminated intravascular coagulation at an early phase of trauma is associated with consumption coagulopathy and excessive fibrinolysis both by plasmin and neutrophil elastase.

BACKGROUND The aims of the present study were to confirm the consumption coagulopathy of disseminated intravascular coagulation with the fibrinolytic phenotype at an early phase of trauma and to test the hypothesis that thrombin-activatable fibrinolysis inhibitor, neutrophil elastase, and plasmin contribute to the increased fibrinolysis of this type of disseminated intravascular coagulation. Fu...
