LOINC display name : Strength of clot retraction.glass bead induced Microviscometry (Bld) [Units];
LOINC long common name : Platelet-induced clot retraction.glass bead induced in Blood by Microviscometry;
LOINC short name : Plt Ind Clt Retr Gls Bld MicrVisc;
LOINC description : Strength of clot retraction by microviscometry is considered a measure of platelet
function, as platelets are required for clot retraction. Some instruments report this
value as a quantitative number ranging from 0 to 5, where 0 indicates no platelet
function and 5 indicates strong platelet function.;
