Prothrombin time - 15.8 sec and inr - 1.2 what could be the reason for increase? and i am on b12 inj now for a week, does it affect them.hvy periods
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See below: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Having said that, your prolonged PT is not likely to be the cause of heavy periods.There is no relation between B12 and prolonged PT either. Given the health issues you have, it is something best discussed with your doctor who has more information.
