Mine is at 11.4, my labs say its low, does tgat mean i coukd get a clot? I have been supplementing with D3 with K2, maybe i should stop?

[@cdh77]

My INR is 4.5 but my doctor says that’s fine. Isn’t this too high?

[@abbashussain6390]

[@pk-hx2io]

PT(INR) value is 1.03 . Is this Normal or Abnormal

[@annaminasyan1170]

Ideal! 👍

[@Esmer0991]

So if my INR is 1.53 (L) it’s there a chance that I might get a clot

[@thatnursingprof2661]

That is slightly higher than usual but not too high. Make sure to avoid risk factors like smoking and inactivity.

@@thatnursingprof2661 how can I lower it down! It’s there going to be a problem if I have a tummy tuck?

[@thatnursingprof2661]

@@Esmer0991 having a higher number means it takes longer for your blood to clot. You can add more vitamin k to diet which is found in green leafy vegetables. If you have surgery the nurse will take safety measures like leg compressors and leg exercises to help prevent a clot from forming.
