P-PK (INR)
249 krThe INR test (International Normalized Ratio) is a functional blood test used to assess how quickly blood clots via the extrinsic coagulation pathway. It provides a standardized measurement of the prothrombin time (PT), making results comparable across different laboratories. The test reflects the activity of vitamin K-dependent clotting factors, primarily factors II (prothrombin), VII, and X, and is commonly used to monitor and adjust anticoagulant therapy with warfarin.
The INR test is primarily used to monitor the effectiveness of anticoagulant treatment, particularly with warfarin. Since warfarin inhibits vitamin K-dependent clotting factors, regular INR monitoring is essential to ensure the blood is not clotting too slowly (increasing the risk of bleeding) or too quickly (increasing the risk of thrombosis).
Beyond anticoagulant therapy, the INR test is also a sensitive indicator of the liver’s ability to synthesize clotting factors and is therefore used in the evaluation of liver disease. It plays an important role in the investigation of unexplained bleeding tendencies or suspected coagulation disorders. Additionally, it is used in preoperative assessments to evaluate bleeding risk before surgery or invasive procedures.
The INR test is recommended to:
The INR test is essential in clinical situations where assessment of coagulation status is needed.
A complete blood count (CBC) provides an overview of the composition of the blood and can indicate anemia, infection, or other abnormalities. Blood tests measure levels of red and white blood cells and platelets, which provide important information about oxygen transport, immune defense, and the blood's ability to clot.
P-PK (INR) is a coagulation test that measures how quickly the blood clots and is used, among other things, in treatment with warfarin or in the investigation of liver disease.
