How does the doctor check to see when a patient can get off warfin?

Depends on…: Reason requiring anticoagulation. Some conditions like atrial fibrillation or mechanical heart valves require lifetime anticoagulation. Other conditions may no longer need blood thinner once the condition has resolved. Doc monitoring your pt & inr is best one to tell you when/if u will be able to discontinue coumadin (warfarin).
