LOINC description : Thrombelastography determination of fibrin clot strength, stimulated by tissue factor,
and platelets inhibited by a platelet glycoprotein IIb-IIIa receptor inhibitor such
as abciximab. The maximum amplitude (MA) in TEG reflects both a plasmatic and platelet
component. By including abciximab to inhibit binding of fibrin and fibrinogen to GPIIb/IIIa
receptors, the platelet effect on MA is removed (at least partly), allowing more specific
treatment of the patient. [PMID:14717978];
