Disseminated intravascular coagulation in canines: old disease with new hope
2010
Adak, A.
Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), also known as 'Dysfibrinogen syndrome', is a complex syndrome of disorders and deregulation of the coagulation. It is a continuum in clinico-pathological severity, which is characterised by diffuse intra vascular thrombosis causing haemostatic defect due to a reduction in clotting factor and platelets as a result of their utilisation in the thrombotic process. Although the first clinical observation on DIC was reported in the 19th century, the condition of widespread and disordered coagulation has probably affected animals for as long as trauma and infections have beset them.
