Disseminated intravascular coagulation: role of the International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) diagnostic scoring system].

Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a life-threatening event during resuscitation. The International Society on Thrombosis and Haemostasis (ISTH) diagnostic scoring system enables early diagnosis of DIC. We here report three clinical cases of DIC characterized by several etiologies: prostatic adenocarcinoma, septic shock and retroplacental hematoma. The tests of hemostasis needed to calculate international society on thrombosis and haemostasis (ISTH) score (platelet count, prothrombin ratio, values of fibrinogen and D-dimer levels) were performed regularly. Additional, complementary tests (soluble complexes test, euglobulin lysis test, antithrombin level dosing, activated protein C and factor V dosing) were also performed. ISTH score enables early diagnosis of DIC. Copyright: Sawsen Bouzidi et al.
