Current approach to disseminated intravascular coagulation related to sepsis - organ failure type

Table 2 Laboratory findings in sepsis-related disseminated intravascular coagulation

Test	Alteration	Other causes
Platelet count	Reduction	Bone marrow abnormalities
Anti-thrombin/C protein	Reduction	Hepatic failure, capillary leakage syndrome
Prothrombin time	Extended	Hepatic failure, vitamin K deficiency
Soluble fibrin/thrombin	Increased	VTD, surgery
vWF-PP/PAI-1	Increased	Organic failure
aPTT	Bifasic wave	Infection
ADAMTS-13	Reduction	Hepatic failure, thrombotic microangiopathy
FDP/DD	Increased	VTD, surgery

VTD: Venous thromboembolic disease; vWF-PP: Von Willebrand factor pro-peptide; PAI-1: Type 1 plasminogen activator inhibitor; ADAMTS-13: A desintegrin and metalloproteinase with a thrombospondin type 1 motif, member 13; FDP: Fibrin degradation products; DD: D-dimer; aPTT: Activated partial thromboplastin time.
