Clot Retraction is the shrinking ability of a clot which signals that repair & healing is happening in the body. Normal clot retraction time is 0-2 hours. Platelets play an important role to initiate this process. It is directly proportional to the platelet count and inversely propotional to the fibrinogen concentration.
