− | * Consumption of clotting factors | + | * '''Coagulation''': Consumption of clotting factors; Widespread micro and macrovascular thrombosis, depletion of fibrinogen and fibrin clot formation; Platelets are trapped in the clots |
− | * Widespread micro and macrovascular thrombosis, depletion of fibrinogen and fibrin clot formation
| + | * '''Fibrinolysis''': Plasminogen --> Plasmin also upregulated, leading to large increase in clot breakdown and release of [[FDPs]] such as D-dimer. Leads to worsened bleeding. |
