Table 1

Distinctive laboratory parameters in DIC and XFL.

	DIC	XFL
Elevated	(1) PTT.; (2) PT.; (3) INR.; (4) D-dimers.; (5) TAT.	(1) FDP.; (2) PAP.
Decreased	(1) PLTs.; (2) Fibrinogen; (normal to mildly decreased)	(1) Fibrinogen.; (2) AAP.; (3) D-dimers/FDP ratio.
Positive	Positive fibrin monomer test.	Positive fibrin monomer and uPA tests.

AAP: alpha 2 antiplasmin; DIC: disseminated intravascular coagulation; FDP: fibrin degradation product; INR: international normalized ratio; PAP: plasmin-antiplasmin complex; PLTs: platelets; PT: prothrombin time; PTT: partial thromboplastin time; TAT: thrombin-antithrombin complex; uPA: urinary-type plasminogen activators; XFL: excessive fibrinolysis.
