==Overview==
There are a variety of causes of [[DIC]], all usually causing the release of [[chemicals]] into the [[blood]] that instigates the [[coagulation]]. Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated. [[Disseminated intravascular coagulation]] in itself is a life-threatening condition and must be treated as such irrespective of the cause. Common causes include [[abruptio placentae]], [[amniotic fluid embolism]], [[aortic aneurysm]], [[blood transfusion]] reaction, drugs (e.g. [[Amphetamines]]), beractant [[eclampsia]], giant [[hemangioma]], [[graft-versus-host disease]], [[HELLP syndrome]] and hemolytic transfusion reaction.

===Common Causes===
* Obstetric complications (most common cause), with chemicals from the [[uterus]] being released into the blood. These include:
*[[Abruptio placentae]]
** [[Amniotic fluid embolism]]
*[[Amniotic fluid embolism]]
** [[Eclampsia]]
*[[Aortic aneurysm]]
** ''[[Abruptio placentae]]''
*[[transfusion reaction|Blood transfusion reaction]]
** [[Placenta praevia]]
*[[Drugs]] (e.g. [[Amphetamines]]), [[Beractant]]
** intra-uterine death
*[[Eclampsia]]
* Tissue trauma such as burns, accidents, surgery, heat stroke or [[Shock (medical)|shock]].
*[[hemangioma|Giant hemangioma]]
* [[Liver]] disease:
*[[Graft-versus-host disease]]
** [[Cirrhosis]]
*[[HELLP syndrome]]
** Acute hepatic [[necrosis]]
*[[transfusion reaction|Hemolytic transfusion reaction]]
* Incompatible blood [[transfusion reaction]]s or massive [[blood transfusion]] (when more than the total circulatory volume is tranfused)
*[[Liver disease]]
* [[Graft-versus-host disease]]
*[[Malignancy]] (especially [[APL]])
* Cancers, particularly of the following types, and especially when [[metastatic]]:
*[[Sepsis]] (esp. [[gram-negative bacteria]])
** [[Stomach cancer]]
*[[allergy|Severe allergic reaction]]
** [[Colorectal cancer]]
*[[Transplant rejection]]
** [[Pancreatic cancer]]
*[[Trauma]] (e.g. [[Fat embolism]], [[head injury]])
** [[Mucin]]-secreting [[adenocarcinoma]]
*[[Venomous snake]]
** [[Acute promyelocytic leukemia]]
*[[Viral hemorrhagic fever]]
* [[Viral hemorrhagic fever]]s bring about their frank effects, paradoxically, by causing DIC.
 
* Envenomation by some [[species]] of [[venomous snake]]s, such as those belonging to the [[genus]] ''[[Echis]]'' (saw-scaled vipers).

Overview

There are a variety of causes of DIC, all usually causing the release of chemicals into the blood that instigates the coagulation. Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated. Disseminated intravascular coagulation in itself is a life-threatening condition and must be treated as such irrespective of the cause. Common causes include abruptio placentae, amniotic fluid embolism, aortic aneurysm, blood transfusion reaction, drugs (e.g. Amphetamines), beractant eclampsia, giant hemangioma, graft-versus-host disease, HELLP syndrome and hemolytic transfusion reaction.

Causes

Life Threatening Causes

Life-threatening causes include conditions which may result in death or permanent disability within 24 hours if left untreated.[1]
