* Expression of the transmembrane glycoprotein TF (which activates factor VII and the extrinsic pathway)

* '''Exposure''': Expression of the transmembrane glycoprotein TF (which activates factor VII and the extrinsic pathway)
* 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.
