Normal INR Levels
The
normal range for a healthy person not using warfarin is 0.8–1.2. However, this
is a dangerously low INR for a person using medication like Warfarin.
what increased or decreased INR level could mean ???
It's safer when INR level is in the Normal INR Range ... why ??
# The risks of an INR Level lower than the Normal INR range could mean
that there are a risk for potential clots.
# and INR higher than the Normal INR
Range could mean that there are a risk for potential internal bleeding.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
is INR Range is the same for all Patients ???
the Answer is NO ...
Normal INR Levels are 2.5 to 3.5 for
people with the following conditions :
- Mechanical Heart Valves
- Recurrent Heart Attack
- Antiphospholipid antibodies
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Normal INR Levels are 2.0 to 3.0 for
people with the following conditions :
- Treatment for deep vein
thrombosis (dvt) - blood clot in leg
- Treatment for pulmonary
embolism (pe) - blood clot in lung
- Prophylaxis of venous
thrombosis (high-risk surgery)
- Tissue heart valves
- Acute Heart Attack
- Valvular heart disease
- Atrial fibrillation
for example, for someone taking Warfarin. we are going to use an INR of 2.5 because
usually an INR of 2.5 is a normal INR level for such case
