Overview
There are a variety of causes of DIC[1], all usually causing the release of chemicals into the blood that instigates the coagulation.
Causes
Life Threatening Causes
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
- Abruptio placentae
- Amniotic fluid embolism
- Aortic aneurysm
- Blood transfusion reaction
- Drugs (e.g. Amphetamines)
- Eclampsia
- Giant hemangioma
- Graft-versus-host disease
- HELLP syndrome
- Hemolytic transfusion reaction
- Liver disease
- Malignancy (especially APL)
- Sepsis (esp. gram-negative bacteria)
- Severe allergic reaction
- Transplant rejection
- Trauma (e.g. Fat embolism, head injury)
- Venomous snake
- Viral hemorrhagic fever
