Question 1

how does exercise affect inr?

Accepted Answer

Little: Probably not much. Doubt there is much interaction here!

Question 2

what is a dangerous inr range?

Accepted Answer

Varies : The cut off for inr to be called critically high varies from one lab to another, but range from 4.0 to 6.0 and above. Any high inr associated with significant bleeding would be dangerous.

Question 3

will imodiun affect inr readings?

Accepted Answer

Should not: Immodum per say would not effect your inr. But diarrhea can effect your inr , depending on etiology. If diarrhea is secondary to abx can increase inr by killing intestinal bacteria and decrease vitamin k production.

Question 4

if my inr is to low what dose that mean?

Accepted Answer

Not enough thinning: Assuming that you are on blood thinners, too low of an inr means that your blood isn't "thin" enough; it still clots more easily than is recommended.  If you aren't on blood thinners, there really isn't such a thing as "too low inr".

Question 5

what's the difference between pt and inr?

Accepted Answer

Uniform standered : Pt is prothrombin time, INR is international normalized ratio, both measure cloting tendency in disease and in health. In pt  each time you need contol which varies place to place and some what unpredictble. So INR solves the problem by uniform standred all over the world. Inr of 2 to 3   if 3 or more means will  bleed , under 2 means need more medication ( like coumidine ).

Question 6

my inr is 1.5. for how long can i be admitted?

Accepted Answer

0: You don't need to be admitted for an INR of 1.5!

Question 7

my inr level today was 6.8. is this number a problem?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Quite high - see you doctor.  Go to hospital for any symptoms or bleeding!

Question 8

what does it mean if my pt time is 21.4 and inr is 1.96?

Accepted Answer

Need to see doctor!: With the values you presented you need to be evaluated for the cause of these abnormal results. It is not a do it yourself issue. Please see your doctor ASAP.

Question 9

if the pt is high and the inr is low what does it indicate?

Accepted Answer

More specific: Numbers here would be helpful. A "low" inr is of no significance.  The platelets would depend on the magnitude of the increase.

Question 10

inr 1.08 is it alarming? is it a disease? what can this cause?

Accepted Answer

1.08 is normal: If you're on a blood thinner, it isn't working because 1.08 means that your blood clots normally.
