Why Is a Protime INR Test Done?

Medical professionals order a Protime INR test for various reasons:

• To monitor diagnosis of blood thinning medicine (anticoagulants): Patients taking warfarin or other medications of this type need to have their INR frequently tested to keep them within a range that can prevent harmful blood clots without them being able to cause over-bleeding.
  
  
• Unexplained blood or bruising: To diagnose an anomaly in bleeding or clotting ability.
  
  
• Before operation or invasive tests: To avoid excessive bleeding during surgeries and invasive tests, the normal blood coagulation is maintained.
  
  
• Evaluation of liver diseases: Liver diseases might interfere with the production of clotting factors as well as the Protime INR.
  
  
• Vitamin K deficiency or malabsorption: Diseases that involve vitamin K may cause an increase in time of clotting as seen through this test.

You should consider getting a Protime INR test if:

• You use anticoagulants such as warfarin and have to monitor them on a regular basis.
