Evolution of DIC in newly diagnosed AML is associated with increased TF PCA and serum LDH. a TF PCA was measured by single-stage clotting assay using both intact and disrupted PBMCs. Peripheral blasts (b) and serum LDH (c) were determined as described above. For illustration purposes only, data points with “zero” peripheral blasts were plotted as 0.1/µL. P values are according to Mann–Whitney U test. The LDH serum level was not available from one patient with DIC.
