How To Test INR
By buying a laboratory test kit with professional nurse or clinic collection, you can accurately measure INR for total reassurance.
Professional analysis in an accredited laboratory ensures rapid result delivery.
Tests which include a INR test:
What if INR Results Are High?
High INR means the blood is taking longer than usual to clot and is associated with an increased risk of bleeding.
This result is generally treated as clinically significant and is often prioritised for early review to clarify the cause and consider contributing factors, including blood-thinning medicines and reduced production of clotting factors.
What if INR Results Are Low?
Low INR means the blood is clotting faster than the reference range suggests (a shorter clotting time).
Why Take The INR Test?
This test is essential for monitoring warfarin therapy and assessing bleeding risk. It is also used in liver disease assessment and clotting investigations.
