LOINC Code 96707-5: Clot stiffness (Bld) [Pressure]

What is this code?

LOINC codes identify tests, measurements, observations, survey items, and clinical questions in a standardized way. It is associated with the component Clot stiffness. It is commonly used with the system or sample type Bld.

When is it used?

• Used in lab systems, EHRs, and clinical data exchange.
• May identify a test, observation, survey item, or clinical document request rather than a diagnosis.
• Status: ACTIVE
• Order vs observation: Observation
• Method: US.fibrinogen contribution.tissue factor induced and platelet glycoprotein IIb-IIIa receptor inhibited.post heparin neutralization

What it does not mean

• The code identifies the observation or test, not the actual result.

Key facts

• Clot stiffness.fibrinogen contribution.tissue factor induced+platelet glycoprotein IIb-IIIa receptor inhibited (elasticity) in Blood by US --post heparin neutralization
• Clot stiffness
• Contribution of fibrinogen to clot stiffness, where clot formation is induced by tissue factor via the extrinsic coagulation pathway and platelet contribution is blocked, as are the effects of any heparin in the sample.
