EX0572      DISSEMINATED INTRAVASCULAR COAGULATION (DIC) PROFILE
Specimen: 3 mL (1 ml min.) whole blood in 1 Lavender Top (EDTA) tube. Ship refrigerated. DO NOT FREEZE. AND 6 mL whole blood in 2 Blue Top (Sodium Citrate) tubes. Mix thoroughly by inversion. Transport to Lab within 4 hours. If this is not possible, make PPP within 1 hour of the collection as follows: Centrifuge sample at 3600 rpm for 15 min. & transfer supernatant to a clean plastic tube. Centrifuge this supernatant again at 3600 rpm for 15 mins. & finally, transfer the supernatant (PPP) to 1 labeled clean plastic screw-capped vial. FREEZE IMMEDIATELY. Ship frozen. DO NOT THAW.

Comment: It is recommended that the patient discontinues Heparin for 1 day and Oral Anticoagulants for 7 days prior to sampling as these drugs may affect test results. Discontinuation should be with prior consent from the treating Physician.
Report: Contact us to know the TAT.
Usage: Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation (DIC) begins as a result of an uncontrolled local or systemic activation of coagulation due to an underlying disorder like snake bite, trauma, amniotic fluid / fat embolism, malignancy, etc. DIC may be acute or chronic, limited or diffuse, and accompanied by hemorrhage or less commonly thrombosis. As coagulation is inappropriately & systemically activated, clotting factors and platelets are consumed leading to bleeding. Laboratory parameters usually show increased APTT & PT; decreased fibrinogen; increase in D-Dimer & fibrin degradation products and decreased platelet count.
