Test Code ADIC Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation/Intravascular Coagulation and Fibrinolysis (DIC/ICF) Profile, Plasma


Ordering Guidance


This profile will not detect all bleeding disorders, such as von Willebrand disease. For patients with amyloidosis and bleeding symptoms, obtaining a limited bleeding diathesis profile is suggested.

 

Multiple coagulation profile tests are available. See Coagulation Profile Comparison for testing that is performed with each profile.



Shipping Instructions


Send the 5 aliquot tubes in the same shipping container.



Necessary Information


 



Specimen Required


Specimen Type: Platelet-poor plasma

Patient Preparation: Patient should not be receiving Coumadin or heparin. If so, note on request.

Collection Container/Tube: Light-blue top (3.2% sodium citrate)

Submission Container/Tube: 5 Plastic vials

Specimen Volume: 5 mL in 5 plastic vials, each containing 1 mL

Collection Instructions:

1. For complete instructions, see Coagulation Guidelines for Specimen Handling and Processing.

2. Centrifuge, transfer all plasma into a plastic vial, and centrifuge plasma again.

3. Aliquot plasma (1 mL per aliquot) into 5 separate plastic vials, leaving 0.25 mL in the bottom of centrifuged vial.

4. Freeze plasma immediately (no longer than 4 hours after collection) at -20° C or, ideally -40° C or below.

Additional Information: Double-centrifuged specimen is critical for accurate results as platelet contamination may cause spurious results.

Clinical Information

Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) and intravascular coagulation and fibrinolysis (ICF), collectively termed DIC/ICF, is a consumptive hemorrhagic and microthrombotic disorder that manifests as clinical bleeding or thrombosis. Conditions associated with DIC/ICF can include sepsis, trauma (eg, head injury, severe tissue injury), obstetric complications (eg, amniotic fluid embolism, abruptio placentae), malignancies, vascular disorders (eg, hemangiomas, aortic aneurysm), and immunologic disorders.

 

These disorders can cause thrombin and fibrin intravascular formation, which can result in widespread fibrin deposition contributing to thrombosis and organ failure or, conversely, can result in bleeding due to consumption of coagulation proteins and platelets. DIC/ICF is not a disease, rather it is a syndrome that is secondary to an underlying disorder.
