Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a serious disorder in which the blood's clotting mechanism is activated excessively and uncontrollably throughout the body. This consumes the factors that stop bleeding and, paradoxically, can cause both clot formation and bleeding.
Why it arises: It is not an isolated disease but a complication that appears in the context of other serious situations, such as severe infections, trauma, or certain pregnancy complications.
How it can present: Bleeding at several sites, bruising, or signs resulting from clot formation, always accompanying an underlying condition.
Which specialists treat it? The hematologist and internist, with support from the endocrinologist depending on the context, study this disorder, usually in the hospital setting. Because of its severity, it requires immediate medical attention.
