Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC)
Symptoms of DIC
DIC that develops suddenlyusually causes bleeding, which may be severe. If the condition follows surgery or childbirth, bleeding may be uncontrollable. Bleeding may occur at the site of an intravenous injection or in the brain, digestive tract, skin, muscles, or cavities of the body. as in people with cancer, then clots in the veins ( Deep Vein Thrombosis (DVT) ) are more common than bleeding. If clots form in veins (usually in the legs), the person may have swelling, redness, or pain in the area. However, sometimes no symptoms develop. A clot that forms in a vein may break free and travel (becoming an embolus) to the lungs.
