What is an INR monitoring system?
Toggle
An International Normalized Ratio (INR) test measures how long it takes for the blood to clot. This system allows you to test and monitor your INR and ensure it does not go too low.
Who needs a PT/INR monitoring system?
Toggle
If you take blood thinners (anticoagulants) or are at risk of blood clotting, you should monitor your INR. If your INR is too low, it means your risk of a blood clot increases. If the INR is too high, the risk of hemorrhaging increases. Your practitioner might prescribe anticoagulants if you suffer from a disease or condition such as: congestive heart failure, atrial fibrillation, prosthetic heart valve, deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, thrombotic stroke, cancer, or venous thromboembolism.
