Detailed explanation-1: -DIC is usually caused by inflammation from an infection, injury, or illness. Some common causes include: Sepsis: This is a body-wide response to infection that causes inflammation. Sepsis is the most common risk factor for DIC.
Detailed explanation-2: -Sepsis-induced DIC. During sepsis, inflammation diffusely activates the coagulation system, consuming multiple clotting factors and resulting in DIC [10, 11].
Detailed explanation-3: -DIC is always secondary to an underlying disorder. Indeed, it is associated with pregnancy complications such as placental abruption, HELLP syndrome, preeclampsia, retained stillbirth, sepsis, post-partum hemorrhage (PPH), acute fatty liver, and amniotic fluid embolism (Figure 2).
Detailed explanation-4: -Causes. DIC can be caused by certain types of cancer, including: leukemia, especially acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) solid tumour cancers, especially adenocarcinomas in the prostate, lung, breast or pancreas.
