31. In addition, it is used in the diagnosis of the blood disorder disseminated intravascular coagulation. 32. The malignant type is an intravascular lymphoma, usually of the diffuse B-cell type. 33. Doctors diagnosed disseminating intravascular coagulation, which was making his blood coagulate faster than it was produced. 34. Disseminated intravascular coagulation is a paradoxical disease that causes a patient to bleed and form clots simultaneously. 35. Disseminated intravascular coagulation ( DIC ) involves widespread microthrombi formation throughout the majority of the blood vessels. 36. Activation of the coagulation system may precipitate disseminated intravascular coagulation . low calcium levels in the blood. 37. In clinical settings, the haptoglobulin assay is used to screen for and monitor intravascular hemolytic anemia. 38. Red cell destruction in these acute hemolytic events is largely intravascular and therefore is associated with hemoglobinuria. 39. Another potential reservoir for nosocomial bacteremia is the heparin solution used to irrigate certain intravascular devices continually. 40. Fibrin and fibrinogen degradation product ( FDP ) testing is commonly used to diagnose disseminated intravascular coagulation.
