Sepsis in malay - Malaysian Sepsis Alliance: Sepsis

Although there is no single clinical manifestation or laboratory value that is diagnostic of DIC, the following changes are reasonably consistent with the diagnosis: 1 presence of a disorder such as severe sepsis that is known to be linked with DIC, 2 musculocutaneous bleeding and dysfunction of one or more organ systems, and 3 ongoing consumption of coagulation factors.

An aggregate of clinical studies suggests that a circulating myocardial depressant factor, not global myocardial ischemia, is a major contributor to myocardial dysfunction in patients with severe sepsis.
