Pathogenic pathways and consequences in DIC. The cross-talk between coagulation, inflammation and innate immune activation increases thrombin generation, which is the hallmark of DIC. Through the interaction of various components, these processes potentiate microvascular thrombosis and endothelial barrier disruption to cause vascular leakage and bleeding.
