Effect of stress on international normalized ratio during warfarin therapy.
OBJECTIVE To discuss the effect of stress on the international normalized ratio (INR) when patients are taking warfarin. CASE SUMMARY Two patients at a pharmacist-managed anticoagulation clinic who were stable with anticoagulation developed elevated INR values after a stressful event occurred. All other factors known to elevate the INR were unchanged; furthermore, the INR values returned to t...
متن کاملCorrelation of point-of-care International Normalized Ratio to laboratory International Normalized Ratio in hemodialysis patients taking warfarin.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES To determine whether point-of-care (POC) International Normalized Ratio (INR) test results correlate with plasma INR measures in intermittent hemodialysis (IHD) patients on warfarin. Anemia is thought to reduce the accuracy of POC INR assay results. Whether POC INR testing could be implemented for hemodialysis patients on chronic warfarin, who are often anemic despite ...
متن کاملOptimal International Normalized Ratio for Warfarin Therapy in Elderly Korean Patients with Non-Valvular Atrial Fibrillation
Background and Objectives: Optimal international normalized ratio (INR) in elderly atrial fibrillation (AF) patients at higher risk of hemorrhagic events remains unclear. We investigated the efficacy and safety of low-intensity warfarin therapy (target international normalized ratio [INR], 1.6–2.6) in elderly Korean patients with nonvalvular AF (NVAF). Subjects and Methods: We enrolled 528 NVAF...
متن کاملCardiology patient page. Warfarin management: international normalized ratio self-testing and warfarin self-dosing.
Until recently, most patients taking warfarin (brand name Coumadin) had to visit a laboratory and/or clinic every few weeks for an international normalized ratio (INR) blood test and adjustment of their warfarin dose. It is now possible for a patient to measure his/her INR (self-testing) with a finger-stick drop of blood with use of a small, portable, battery-powered device. Some self-testing p...
متن کاملInternational Normalized Ratio ( Inr )
Prothrombin time can be measured roughly on whole blood as in neonates, but is more commonly measured from plasma. Blood is taken into a vacutainer containing liquid citrate. Citrate acts as an anticoagulant by consuming all the calcium in the sample. The blood is mixed and centrifuged to separate blood cells from the plasma. The plasma is placed in a coagulation machine which takes a sample of...
