The following is the finding seen in DIVC :: (A) Increased fibrinogen , increased antithrombin III, increased thrombin-antithrombin III complexes, (B) Increased FDP, decreased PT, increased antithrombin III, (C) Increased FDP, prolonged PT, increased thrombin-antithrombin complexes, (D) Increased FDP, prolonged PT, reduced Platlets
Answer is D. Answer is D (Increased FDP, prolonged PT, Reduced platelets) The laboratory manifestation of DIC include thrombocytopenia (Reduced platelets), prolonged PT, PTT and thrombin time (TT). Reduced fibrinogen levels from depletion of coagulation protein and elevated FDP from intense secondary fibromolysis
