A member asked:
If prothrombin timing is 9.2 secs and the prothrombin index 119.6 with inr at 0.85 what does it indicate and how it can be rectified? pl inform me.

Very confusing: There are too many numbers -- if you are taking Coumadin or warfarin, you need to have pt(protime) and inr(international ratio) monitored every month -- commonly the therapeutic range of INR is between 2 and 3. So if your INR is 0.85, then your warfarin dose is not enough -- please discuss this with your monitoring doctor!

My Dr did a random routine blood test of Prothrombin Time and INR. My Prothrombin Time was 10.3 and INR was 0.9. I'm healthy in my 30s and not on any medications. Does my slow time mean I'm more prone to a stroke or a heart attack?
