5. Post-surgery

 

6. Vascular-related diseases

 • Thoracic and abdominal aortic aneurysms

 • Giant hemangioma

 • Blood vessel-associated tumors

 • Collagen disease (cases of vasculitis complications)

 • Other vascular-related diseases

 

7. Liver injury: acute liver failure, acute hepatitis, liver cirrhosis

 

8. Acute pancreatitis

10. Hemolysis, incompatible blood-type transfusion

 

11. Snake bite

 

12. Hypothermia

 

13. Other

 
  1. Note: There are characteristic underlying diseases of DIC in the fields of obstetrics and newborns, but they are not shown in this table because these diagnostic criteria are not applicable to either of those fields
