Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Decompensated DIC is characterized by active hemorrhage and a lack of sufficient coagulation factors and platelets to maintain hemostasis. Compensated DIC, on the other hand, refers to a condition in which the body is able to maintain hemostasis despite ongoing clotting and consumption of factors. Hypercoagulability refers to a tendency for blood to clot excessively, and is not specifically related to DIC.
