a. "DIC is controllable with lifelong heparin usage."
b. "DIC is a genetic disorder characterized by an elevated factor
VIII count."
c. "DIC is caused by abnormal coagulation involving fibrinogen
and presents with simultaneous abnormal clotting and bleeding."
d. "DIC is a genetic disorder involving a vitamin K deficiency." -
ANSWER-c. "DIC is caused by abnormal coagulation involving
fibrinogen and presents with simultaneous abnormal clotting and
bleeding."

-↓ Clot factors/plt → bleeding
-↑ Fibrinogen use, ↑ D-dimer
