Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC) is a serious condition characterized by the widespread activation of the coagulation cascade, leading to the formation of blood clots throughout the small blood vessels, which can result in organ damage and severe bleeding due to the consumption of clotting factors and platelets. It is often a complication of other medical conditions such as sepsis, trauma, or cancer, and requires prompt diagnosis and management to address the underlying cause and prevent further complications.
