See your doc: I t is not clear as to what test you are asking about , but if I may guess you are talking about a protime The PTO is actually read as a INR. The INR does not become elevated with a burger and coke. You need to seek professional help in this regard. Make sure you are not taking too much in the way of alcohol.. Best wishes
