Platelet-induced clot retraction Bld Microviscometry.glass bead induced

Definition

  • 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.
