Abstract

Coagulation disorder or disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) is a clinicopathological syndrome, in which the imbalance between coagulation and fibrinolysis is the main pathogenesis, and systemic microthrombosis and systemic bleeding tendency are the main clinical manifestations. The clinical outcome is often the induction of systemic multiple organ dysfunction. As a common complication of sepsis, DIC significantly increases the mortality of septic patients. The coagulation disorder in sepsis is closely related to the inflammatory response of the body. Studying the mechanism of sepsis-related coagulation disorder will provide new possibilities for its early diagnosis and prognosis evaluation. This article reviews the latest research progress on the molecular mechanism of sepsis-related coagulation disorders in immunity and inflammation, in order to provide new possibilities for potential therapeutic targets.
