What is the treatment for disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC)?

Your healthcare provider’s first step is treating the underlying condition that caused you to develop DIC. They might use supportive treatments to improve blood flow if you have blood clots or to slow your blood loss. Those treatments are:

• Plasma transfusions to reduce bleeding. Plasma transfusion replace blood clotting factors affected by DIC.
• Transfusions of red blood cells and/or platelets.
• Anti-coagulant medication (blood thinners) to prevent blood clotting.
