Coagulation Pathway
The coagulation pathway is a cascade of events that leads to hemostasis. The intricate pathway allows for rapid healing and prevention of spontaneous bleeding. Two paths, intrinsic and extrinsic, originate separately but converge at a specific point, leading to fibrin activation. The purpose is to ultimately stabilize the platelet plug…

Disseminated intravascular coagulation or DIC
It is also known as consumptive coagulopathy or consumptive thrombohemorrhagic disorder. It occurs because of uncontrolled activation of coagulation cascade at system wide level which leads to increased coagulation which leads to widespread thrombosis, resultant fibrinolysis which leads to depletion of clotting factor levels and thrombocytopenia withthe final clinical result…
