What does a prolonged PT signal?
It may mean that the patient has a vitamin K deficiency, a liver disease, or disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC).
What condition occurs when the clotting mechanism is activated simultaneously throughout the cardiovascular system usually triggered by a severe bacterial infection?
Disseminated intravascular coagulation
What is the disorder in which widespread clotting occurs with intact blood vessels and the residual blood becomes unable to clot which can lead to severe bleeding?
Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation
Which is a severe blood clotting disorder in which blood clots form and this consumes the clotting substances so the patient also has bleeding from several body sites?
Disseminated intravascular coagulation
What are possible complications of surgery for necrotizing enterocolitis?
wound infections and lack of healing, persistent sepsis and bowel necrosis, and a serious internal bleeding disorder known as disseminated intravascular coagulation.
What are some of the risks associated with hemispherectomy?

What is disseminated intravascular coagulation DIC?
Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), also known as consumptive coagulopathy, is a pathological activation of coagulation (blood clotting) mechanisms that happens in response to a variety of diseases. DIC leads to the formation of small blood clots inside the blood vessels throughout the body.[1] As the small clots consume coagulation proteins and platelets, normal coagulation is disrupted and abnormal bleeding occurs from the skin (e.g. from sites where blood samples were taken), the digestive tract, the respiratory tract and surgical wounds. The small clots also disrupt normal blood flow to organs (such as the kidneys), which may malfunction as a result.[2]DIC can occur acutely but also on a slower, chronic basis, depending on the underlying problem.[3] It is common in the critically ill, and may participate in the development of multiple organ failure, which may lead to death.[Source:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disseminated_intravascular_coagulation
What does the medical abbreviation DIC mean?

Why take D Dimer blood test in Delhi?

What diagnostic or laboratory tests are used to confirm a diagnosis of Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation?
A: Clinically, DIC is usually diagnosed on the basis of the underlying disease, observed low platelet counts on a peripheral blood test, increases in bleeding times, and the presence of degradation products in the blood plasma.
