Management of Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation in Acute Leukemias

Acute Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation in Neuroendocrine Carcinoma

Malignancy is a common cause of disseminated intravascular coagulation and usually presents as a chronic disorder in solid organ tumours. We present a rare case of recurrent acute disseminated intravascular coagulation in neuroendocrine carcinoma after manipulation, firstly, by core biopsy and, later, by cytotoxic therapy causing a release of procoagulants and cytokines from lysed tumour cells....

Supportive management strategies for disseminated intravascular coagulation

Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a syndrome characterised by the systemic activation of blood coagulation, which generates intravascular fibrin leading to thrombosis of smalland medium-sized vessels and eventually contributes to organ dysfunction (1). In addition, the consumption of platelets and coagulation factors may predispose patients with DIC to haemorrhagic complications. ...
