Why is it 1.5?: You probably mean INR of 1.5 (normal prothrombin time is about 12 seconds). It is not dangerous by itself but why is your INR prolonged? The disease process causing this prolongation may be dangerous, e.G, liver disease, malabsorption causing vitamin deficiency etc. Please consult your doctor to determine the cause and treat the underlying process.

Context: Depends entirely on the reason that the test was ordered in the first place. You're worried -- get right to your physician and demand a straight answer. A proactive patient is the best partner a physician can have.
