What Is An INR Anyway😱
I’m heading to my Cardiologist’s office for an INR test. They prick my finger, squeeze a drop of blood out and snatch it onto a card where it sits for about ten or twenty seconds. When it coagulates, the Nurse announces the INR number. If it falls outside the acceptable range they adjust my anticoagulant dose starting tonight. Then we schedule the next INR and I leave.... Now that’s what I call fun fun... So, it’s an international normalized ratio. Simply stated it’s the ratio of how long it takes my blood to clot divided by the normal time it takes people of my age and general state of health. Such Fun 💐💐🎊🎂
