FROM THE PREFACE

Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation is a devastating syndrome
characterized by the systemic activation of widespread activation of the
coagulation cascade and thrombosis, which may result in severe bleeding and
may lead to organ failure. Recent studies have shown that the incidence of
DIC is decreasing, especially in men. Despite the improvements in health care
delivery, the morbidity and mortality due to DIC remains very high. Early
diagnosis and accurate prognosis are important in improving the outcomes of
patients with DIC.
However, there is a lack of a gold standard diagnostic test to diagnose DIC
and there is a scarcity of treatment or management strategies. Therefore, an
understanding of the pathophysiology, ability to diagnose the DIC syndrome
and to treat early, is the key. This book provides an important timely update on
the clinical manifestations, important risk factors, and treatment strategies for
DIC, and provides in-depth information on pathophysiological aspects and
various diagnostic scores used to diagnose DIC. Furthermore, we focused on
certain important factors related to DIC such as Sepsis, chronic DIC in cancer
patients, coagulopathy of liver disorders vs DIC, and DIC in urological
malignancies.
In addition, this book provides evidence from an important study
determining the predictors influencing the hospital mortality rates of the
critically ill patients with DIC. This book offers a wide scope of information
for physicians in all fields, whether they are intensivists, primary care
physicians or oncologists, this will be an important source for identifying the
DIC syndrome early, and the appropriate steps to improve patient outcomes
will be taken sooner.
