Medical Condition

Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC)

DIC is a rare, life-threatening condition in which proteins that control blood clotting become overactive. This leads to widespread clotting in small vessels, followed by severe bleeding due to depletion of clotting factors and platelets.

Common Symptoms

  • Bleeding (from multiple sites)
  • Bruising
  • Petechiae
  • Organ dysfunction
  • Low blood pressure
