Model of the coagulopathies in coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) and sepsis. In patients with COVID‐19, increased tissue factor (TF) leads to fibrin generation but low D‐dimer due to the concurrent increase in plasminogen activator inhibitor 1 (PAI‐1) and inhibition of fibrinolysis. In sepsis, increased TF leads to fibrin generation with high D‐dimer due to a smaller increase in PAI‐1
