Disseminated intravascular coagulopathy

Disseminated intravascular coagulopathy

It is a disorder arising as a secondary manifestation of various diseases where there are consumption of platelets, clotting factors in wide spread area of circulation as well as secondary activation of plasminogen fibrinolytic system.

Etiology:
1.       Massive tissue trauma
2.       Sepsis
3.       Obstructive complications: abruption placenta,
Dead fetus, amniotic fluid embolism
4.       Incompatible blood transfusion
5.       Fat embolism
6.       Cardio pulmonary bypass surgery
7.       Advance malignancy
8.       Autoimmune diseases
9.       Shock, heatstroke ,burn
10.   Snake venom

Sites: in decreasing order of frequency
1.       Brain
2.       Heart
3.       Lungs
4.       Kidneys
5.       Adrenal glands
6.       Spleen
7.       Liver

Pathophysiology:
Wide spread activation of the inflammatory
Cells due to the predisposing Factor
Causes release of cytokines (IL-1, 6, 8, TNF, Plasminogen
Activator factor, amino acid metabolites)
When there is large amount of cytokines released
Its causes endothelial damage and cytokines
Exposed to sub endothelial matrix
at the same time it causes activation of both arm
of coagulation pathway (intrinsic & extrinsic) in
wide spread area of the body.

Formation of micro thrombi
(A.)Vascular occlusion of various organ-

1. microangiopathic hemolytic anemia(due to fragmentation of red cell )

2. Ischemic tissue damage

(B.)Activision of plasmin

1.       Proteolysis of clotting factors

2.       Fibrinolysis- inhabit thrombin, platelet aggregations, fibrin polymerization
Consumption of clotting factors and platelet ;hence it also called CONSUMPTION COAGULOPATHY

NOTE:
The predisposing factors are often multiple and interrelated
TWO MAJOR MECHANISM TRIGGERED DIC:

1.       Release of tissue factors or thromboplastic substances into the
Circulation
2.       Wide spread injury to the endothelial cell

TWO CONSEQUENCES OF DIC:

1.       Widespread deposition of fibrin within the microcirculation
Leads to ischemia
2.       Consumption of platelet and clotting factors and the activation of
Plasminogen leads to hemorrhagic diathesis.


As there is consumption of platelet so there is increase of  BLEEDING TIME & PT
As there is consumption of clotting factors so there is increase of  CLOTTING TIME & APTT

Factors responsible for descent of the testis

Factors responsible for descent of the testis are:

1. Shortening & traction of gubernaculum testis

2. Differential growth of body wall in relation to a
     relatively immobile gubernaculum

3. Raised intra-abdomenal pressure due to fecal accumulation and
    growth of intra abdominal  viscera.

4. Development and maturation of the epididymis.

5. Higher temperature in the abdomen

6. Hormaonal influence such as HCG,testosterone and DHT.

Factors responsible for maldescent of Testis:

Factors responsible for mal descent of Testis:

1.  Retroperitonial adhesion
2. Obstruction at the deep inguinal ring
3. Short Vas deferans
4. Short Pampiniform plexuses
5. Short Testicular vessels
6. Insufficient pull of gubernaculum testis
7. Abnormal attachment of the gubernaculum Testis
8. Gonadal dysgenesis
9. Deficient hormon stimulation
10. Deficency of gonadotropin & testosterone
11. Deficiency of Mullerian inhibitory factor from fetal      
       Sertilicells
12. Prune-Belly Syndrome .
