METHOD OF OPTIMISING DIAGNOSIS OF STAGES OF ACUTE DISSEMINATED INTRAVASCULAR COAGULATION Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC A61B10/00 G01N33/86 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to medicine, namely to aggressive medical therapy, resuscitation science, critical care medicine, laboratory diagnostics and can be used by resuscitators, intensivists, laboratory doctors for well-timed diagnosis and consequently, for individualised aggressive medical therapy of acute disseminated intravascular coagulation. The integrated assessment of links of haemostatic system and the clinical appraisal of organ dysfunction are applied in a measurer, and when observing structural hypercoagulation characterised by fibrinogen level increase, thrombocyte activity increase, growth of soluble fibrin complex (SFC) level, and also when observing chronometric hypercoagulation characterised by time tests, palette-derived factor 4 activity (P₄) with manifested petechial haemorrhage and organ dysfunction, and coagulation cascade activation with underlying depression of antithrombin III and protein C, a hypercoagulation stage of acute DIC is diagnosed. Chronometric hypercoagulation by Activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), INR, fibrinogen and P4 with manifested signs of structural hypocoagulation by thrombin time prolongation and D-dimer activity increase with underlying further intensification of anticoagulant system deficiency, progression of target organs dysfunction and mixed haemorrhage show a transitive stage of acute DIC. If observing said hypocoagulation changes and disturbed fibrinolytic activity with prevailing either decompensated organ and tissue dysfunction, or hemorrhagic syndrome up to system haemorrhages, or their combination with hemorrhagic syndrome characterised by polymorphism of clinical picture and localisation: petechial-haematoma haemorrhage at the stress-induced stomach ulcers, hematuria, a coagulopathy stage of acute DIC is diagnosed that is characterised either by depression of fibrinolysis, or preserved fibrinolytic activity, or by activation of secondary fibrinolysis, or by acute primary fibrinolysis.

EFFECT: method allows optimising classification of acute disseminated intravascular coagulation, improving diagnostic significance of the classification and simplifying a diagnostic prospecting which provide a basis to consider the staging of acute disseminated intravascular coagulation.
