Post-marketing surveillance data of thrombomodulin alfa: sub-analysis in patients with sepsis-induced disseminated intravascular coagulation
BACKGROUND Thrombomodulin alfa (TM-α, recombinant thrombomodulin) significantly improved disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) when compared with heparin therapy in a phase III study. Post-marketing surveillance of TM-α was performed to evaluate the effects and safety in patients with sepsis-induced DIC. METHODS From May 2008 to April 2010, a total of 1,787 patients with sepsis-induced...
متن کاملEffect of Thrombomodulin Alfa on Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation in Patients with Lung Cancer
Objective The mortality rate due to disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is higher in patients with lung cancer than in those without. We examined the effect of treatment with thrombomodulin alfa (TM-α) for DIC in lung cancer patients. Methods Subjects were 57 patients with DIC (43 men, 14 women; mean age, 71.7 years), comprising 31 with lung cancer and 26 without. DIC patients with or ...
متن کاملDisseminated intravascular coagulation in sepsis.
Disseminated intravascular coagulation is a frequent complication of sepsis. Coagulation activation, inhibition of fibrinolysis, and consumption of coagulation inhibitors lead to a procoagulant state resulting in inadequate fibrin removal and fibrin deposition in the microvasculature. As a consequence, microvascular thrombosis contributes to promotion of organ dysfunction. Recently, three rando...
متن کاملDisseminated intravascular coagulation in sepsis.
Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) has been considered a rather rare syndrome characterized by severe bleeding. In fact, both of these beliefs are wrong. Bleeding is fairly rare in DIC. The clotting parameters are usually normal unless the DIC is fulminating. It is usually thought that fibrinogen may be low or absent in DIC. However, afibrinogenemia is rare. Fibrinogen is usually high...
متن کاملSepsis and disseminated intravascular coagulation
Sepsis is frequently complicated by coagulopathy and, in about 35 % of severe cases, by disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). In Japan, aggressive treatment of septic DIC is encouraged using antithrombin and recombinant thrombomodulin. The macrophages, monocytes, and neutrophils are a source of TF and participate in the direct activation of the coagulation cascade in the early phases of...
