Nursing Central: Clot Retraction

Clot Retraction

Interfering Factors

Drugs that may produce a decreased result include apronalide, carbenicillin, and plicamycin.
Platelet count less than 100 × 10³/mm³, acetylsalicylic acid therapy, altered fibrinogen/fibrin structure, hypofibrinogenemia, polycythemia or hemoconcentration, and multiple myeloma are conditions in which abnormal clot retraction may occur, limiting the ability to form a valid assessment of platelet function.
Prompt and proper specimen processing, storage, and analysis are important to achieve accurate results. Specimens received in the laboratory more than 1 hr after collection should be rejected.
