[Experience in the treatment with recombinant thrombomodulin on disseminated intravascular coagulation with severe urinary tract infection].

Severe urinary tract infection occasionally causes urosepsis and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). We experienced six cases of DIC with severe urinary tract infection from July 2009 to January 2011. Patients comprised two men and four women, ranging in age from 67-84 years old.

A 63-year-old man was admitted to hospital complaining of a right abdominal mass. Computed tomography (CT) showed renal parenchymal atrophy with extremely increased perirenal fat.
