[Disseminated intravascular coagulation in acute cerebral circulatory disorders].

A combined dynamic examination of 114 patients with strokes of different nature localized in the cerebral hemispheres has shown that the degree of the hemostatic changes depends on the severity of the disease and the stage of the DIC syndrome at the time of examination. Three stages of DIC have been identified: hypercoagulation, incomplete consumption coagulopathy, and marked consumption coagulopathy. Drug correction of hemostatic alterations is possible only at stages I and II. The guidelines of the drug therapy of the DIC syndrome associated with cerebral strokes are presented.
