| Summary: | Abstract Diagnosing coagulopathy in septic patients remains challenging in intensive care. Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) indeed presents with complex pathophysiology, complicating timely diagnosis. Epidemiological data indicate a significant prevalence of DIC in septic patients, with mortality rates up to 60%. Despite advances, current biomarker-based diagnostic tools often fail to provide early and accurate detection. This review evaluates the utility and limitations of traditional and emerging biomarkers for diagnosing sepsis-induced coagulopathy (SIC) and DIC. We also assess the effectiveness of anticoagulant therapy guided by biomarker-based diagnostic criteria. |
