Uncontrolled blood clotting, where the blood clots but there is no wound to seal, can lead to death. If the blood clots are in the blood stream they can break off and cause obstructions in other organs or tissues. If the blood is extravasated, the clot can interfere with normal organ and tissue function. Systemic blood clotting, called disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), is a medical emergency that can lead to death.
