FULL TEXT
2018 JUL 14 (NewsRx) -- By a News Reporter-Staff News Editor at Obesity, Fitness &Wellness Week -- Fresh data
on Hematologic Diseases and Conditions - Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation are presented in a new report.
According to news reporting originating in London, United Kingdom, by NewsRx editors, the research stated,
"Malignant disease can be complicated by disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). DIC is defined as
systemic intravascular triggering of coagulation (resulting in intravascular fibrin clot formation) and concurrent
depletion of clotting factors and platelets (increasing the risk of hemorrhage)."

The news reporters obtained a quote from the research, "The clinical presentation of DIC in patients with cancer
has usually a less fulminant presentation than DIC that may accompany other underlying disorders, such as sepsis
and trauma. A more insidious, but also more protracted, diffuse activation of coagulation can proceed without any
symptom. Ultimately this may lead to deficiency of platelets and clotting factors and hemorrhage (often at the site
of the tumor or metastases) may be the first clinical symptom indicating the presence of DIC. An alternative
presentation may be thrombosis, ranging from overt venous thrombo-embolism to microvascular disease and
thrombotic microangiopathy."

According to the news reporters, the research concluded: "The therapeutic foundation of DIC is management of the
underlying condition but in some cases supportive interventions, specifically targeting the hemostatic system may
be needed."
