Postpartum DIC in the course of septic shock due to urinary tract infection -- case report and review of literature.

Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) in the course of septic shock is a very serious clinical event that requires immediate specialist medical care. Often, DIC occurs in people with a severe inflammatory response. As a rule, the prognosis is poor. The activation of the coagulation cascade leads to the occlusion of small blood vessels, which results in organ failure. In addition, secondary fibrinolysis leads to an increased risk of bleeding and is problematic in the selection of appropriate pharmacological therapy. In our paper, we will present the case of a patient with postpartum DIC in the course of septic shock in the course of urinary tract infection. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
