Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is blood clotting occurring simultaneously in small vessels throughout the body in response to disseminated TNF-α, which leads to the massive consumption of clotting proteins, so that the patient’s blood cannot clot appropriately. It is seen in septic shock.
La coagulación intravascular diseminada (CID) es la coagulación sanguínea que ocurre simultáneamente en pequeños vasos por todo el cuerpo en respuesta a TNF-α diseminado, lo que conduce al consumo masivo de proteínas de coagulación, de modo que la sangre del paciente no puede coagularse adecuadamente. Se observa en shock séptico.
