The 20 pages that link to Disseminated intravascular coagulation, each with the reason it gives.

• SepsisRelated: Severe infection can trigger widespread coagulation that worsens organ injury.

• HemostasisCompared with: It shows how uncontrolled clotting can ultimately exhaust the materials needed for hemostasis.

• Serotonin syndromeRelated: Extreme hyperthermia and critical illness can trigger this life-threatening complication.

• ThrombocytopeniaRelated: Platelet consumption in this disorder links a low count to simultaneous clotting and bleeding.

• ThrombosisCompared with: It combines diffuse thrombosis with bleeding, unlike a localized thrombus.

• Septic shockRelated: Sepsis-related coagulation abnormalities can obstruct small vessels and worsen organ injury.

• HyperthermiaRelated: Severe heat stroke can trigger widespread coagulation abnormalities.

• Postpartum hemorrhageRelated: Severe hemorrhage can trigger or worsen this life-threatening clotting disorder.

• Tumor lysis syndromeCompared with: It can complicate malignancy but is a coagulation disorder, not the electrolyte-release syndrome.

• Thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpuraCompared with: Unlike typical TTP, it usually produces abnormal coagulation tests and factor consumption.

• Hemolytic uremic syndromeCompared with: It can cause hemolysis and thrombocytopenia, but coagulation tests often help distinguish it.

• Necrotizing fasciitisRelated: Severe systemic inflammation may disrupt clotting and worsen bleeding and organ injury.

• EndotoxinRelated: Severe endotoxin-associated inflammation can activate coagulation pathways.

• ThrombinBroader topic: Uncontrolled thrombin generation drives widespread fibrin formation in this dangerous syndrome.

• Heat strokeRelated: Severe heat injury can trigger this dangerous disturbance of blood clotting.

• Thrombotic microangiopathyCompared with: It can mimic this syndrome but typically involves broader coagulation-test abnormalities.

• ThrombophiliaCompared with: It is an acute systemic syndrome, unlike a predisposition that may remain silent until a trigger occurs.

• Atypical hemolytic uremic syndromeCompared with: Abnormal coagulation tests often distinguish this systemic process from isolated microangiopathy.

• Bloodstream infectionRelated: Severe infection can activate coagulation throughout the circulation and produce this dangerous complication.

• Immune thrombocytopenic purpuraCompared with: Abnormal coagulation tests and systemic illness distinguish it from usually isolated ITP.
