Normal INR Levels

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
