Early features of disseminated intravascular coagulation may present with bleeding, thromboembolism, shock, hemolysis and so on.
1. Bleeding: it can be manifested as multi-site bleeding, with skin purpura, ecchymosis and blood oozing from puncture site or injection site being the most common, and in severe cases, there will be petechiae and hematoma on skin and mucous membranes, and even visceral bleeding.
2. Thrombosis: Disseminated intravascular coagulation is often accompanied by thrombosis in the early stage. Due to the thrombus in small arteries, capillaries or small veins, it causes microthrombosis in various organs, leading to insufficient perfusion, ischemia or necrosis of organs, which manifests as hemorrhagic purplish spots on the end of the skin, gangrene of fingers or toes.
3. Shock: Early disseminated intravascular coagulation often causes cellular hypoxia and impaired function caused by reduced effective circulating blood volume and insufficient perfusion of tissues in the patient’s body, resulting in the symptoms of shock.
If the patient has disseminated intravascular coagulation, it is recommended to go to the professional hospital in time and actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment.
