Activated clotting time (ACT) of Blood induced by Kaolin   80659-6

LOINC Code


LOINC code80659-6
nameActivated clotting time (ACT) of Blood induced by Kaolin
descriptionThe activated clotting time (ACT) of blood is a measure of the amount of time for a fibrin clot to form in the presence of a known amount of kaolin activator.
statusACTIVE

Fully-Specified Name

componentActivated clotting time.kaolin induced
propertyTime  =  Time Duration
timePt  =  Point in time:  To identify measures at a point in time. This is a synonym for “spot” or “random” as applied to urine measurements.
systemBld  =  Whole blood
scaleQn  =  Quantitative:  The result of the test is a numeric value that relates to a continuous numeric scale. Reported either as an integer, a ratio, a real number, or a range. The test result value may optionally contain a relational operator from the set {<=, <, >, >=}. Valid values for a quantitative test are of the form "7", "-7", "7.4", "-7.4", "7.8912", "0.125", "<10", "<10.15", ">12000", 1-10, 1:256
methodCoag  =  Coagulation Assay:  To distinguish coagulation assays based on clotting methods that test function/activity from Immune methods that detect the presence of clotting factors and may or may not be functional assays.
