If your father is taking Coumadin and his INR is high, the blood thinning can be reversed with intravenous medication, called Vitamin K, before the procedure. Even if his blood had already been thinned with Coumadin, he will receive intravenous Heparin blood thinner. Heparin works immediately, and the effects only last for a short time after the drug is stopped.
In one study, 50 women with thrombophilia (including 20 factor V Leiden heterozygotes) and recurrent pregnancy loss were treated with enoxaparin throughout 61 subsequent pregnancies. The live birth rate was 75% with enoxaparin prophylaxis, compared to 20% in prior untreated pregnancies [Brenner et al 2000].
It turns out that portal vein and superior mesenteric vein are thrombosed. They put her on enoxaparin and wanted her to rest for 5 days until the next control. She refused to be put on heparin or warfarin because of her history of gastrointestinal bleeding and recent surgery. We've been told thrombectomy would be extremely risky, given her medical history.
I read somewhere enoxaparin only prevents further occlusion of the vein and does not lyse existing clot.
I am 27 weeks pregnancy and have dvt, start to using CLEXANE(ENOXAPARIN) I am really worried is there any harm to my baby
Thanks & Rgards
Yes I'm on the generic enoxaparin. I was on it with my first and forth (all 4 pregnancies were miscarriages). Now I'm on it again since 3 1/2 weeks pregnant.
I would not be comfortable with having a mechanical mitral valve and an INR of 1, because an INR of 1 is the same as not being anticoagulated at all. Which brings up the question, was the result even correct? If you have been in range for a long time on a stable dose of coumadin, then what the heck happened to drop you down to the same INR as someone who is not even on coumadin at all? I would want to know either how my INR got so low, or if there is no known reason, was it a false result?
As someone who is on warfarin, I have the same impresson of an INR of 4.8 as you do -- that it is undesirable but not greatly alarming. I have never heard that the INR is interpreted any differently for an infant than for an older person. There are some "heart mom" forums on the internet for mothers of children with congenital heart disease. I don't know where to direct you, but if you can find a forum such as that, this is a question that some of the other moms might know.
but after treatment all was normal but after 8 months sgpt is higher to 58 n prothrombin time is18.4 second n INR is 1.45 ...N prothrombin ratio is 1.40...Any medicine to recover or diet to control pt n inr....N specify how serious this is.
An individual whose blood clots normally and who is not on anticoagulation should have an INR of approximately 1. The higher your INR is, the longer it takes your blood to clot.
As the INR increases above a given level, the risk of bleeding and bleeding-related events increases. On the other hand, as the INR decreases below a given level, the risk of clotting events increases.
Dear VIPUL: INR... stands for International...something... it is the international standard for measuring the thickness or thinness of your blood....the lower the number the thicker the blood is and the stronger the chances of a blood clot.. the higher the number the thinner the blood is and the lesser the chance of cloting...most heart patients should have an INR of 2-3 I think with 2.5 being ideal.. however some patients need to be thinned to 3or so..
my inr was 4.2 today, its been running 2.8-3.0 on avg..I was shaving with my eltric razor,the battery died, went to use a razor, cut I nick in it..it bleeded for 2 hrs..I checked my inr was at 4.2..i called my gp doc at home, told her I ate 1.5 cups of broccoli. she said greens will make it thinner..to eat sweet potatos,im like do what lol..I know well enough that vit k is loaded with in greens dark leafy ones.. then I got to thinking ive lost 15 pounds in past 3 month's and trying to..
Normally patients on blood thinners are kept at an international normalized ratio (INR) of 2.0 to 3.0. If the INR is low or near 1.00, this means the blood is pretty thick and likely to cause clot formation. For patients who have an increased risk of clot formation the INR needs to be higher - about 2.5 to 3.5. So, yes, if you needed to be kept at an INR of 3.6 then you either need a dose adjustment or a change in medication.
In 2010, I had diarrhea due to an antibiotic, and INR rose. In this January again, when I had a possible norovirus infection (Jan 13-15), my INR rose from previous 2.5 (Jan 10) to 3.3 (Jan 17). It is measured once per week.
On January 6, when I got atrial fibrillation, My Na+ was 146 (upper limit of normal 144). Am I almost always dehydrated, because my sodium is often high? I have sometimes polyuria. I drank water and special drinks during the diarrhea to prevent dehydration.
My INR Goal is 2-3 and today it was a 2.0 and I take 4mg of Coumadin every day at 6pm... The Dr said to take 5mg today... I'm confused I thought the higher the levels the more mg you would take... 2.0 I thought was good and within my goal but I'm not a Dr.. I don't know if I should just listen and do the 5 or stay with the 4... This is not the Dr that I had but they said they looked at my info... what should I do?? and can you please explain this to me?????
Presumably i need to reduce my INR from 2.9 (as it was for the bleed) to 2.0/2.1..care with nose blowing.on warafrin..permanent AF 66 MALE.
The only thing that I can tell you refers to INR management, and that is that when the INR is persistently low, the normal thing to do is to continue increasing the coumadin dose until INR is in range. I didn't even mention that much before, because I don't have any way of knowing if there is a good reason why your doctors have been reluctant to increase the coumadin any more than they have. Good luck.
I can't believe there IS an INR of 9.2. Don't they check her INR? That has got to be dangerous; ordinarily, one shouldn't go much above 3.5.
It sounds like maybe she hasn't switch to home INR testing--I know people who just don't get around to going to their "monthly" check for three or four months, and don't really appreciate the risk they are taking.
The CT scan and MRI showed a left adrenal haemorrhage after first operation and was found to be over-anticoagulated, INR was 8.7 during 2 operations and 11.7 on the last. His INR was not monitored for 2 days (1 of those a surgery day, and reading the following days INR of 8.7 was likely to be out of the theraputic range).
He subsequently was given vit K and INR came down to 1.5 at which time a needle biopsy was performed. His kidney unfortunately bled out and is now non-functioning.
First, an individual whose blood clots normally and who is not on anticoagulation should have an INR of approximately 1. The higher your INR is, the longer it takes your blood to clot. In other words, as the INR increases above a given level, the risk of bleeding and bleeding-related events increases. On the other hand, as the INR decreases below a given level, the risk of clotting events increases..."
An INR of 2 with a bilirubin of 2.3 would account for your score.
Luckily it was caught and treated in time and he is now in recuperation. My doc says his INR should be between 3.0 and 3.5 - Other people w/the same history have advised me that his INR should be at 2.3 and no more than that. He is now at 2.45. I just want to make sure he is at the correct level and I don't know who to believe. Can anyone advise me?. After the stroke he was being injected in the stomach twice a day and given 5mg of Coumadin once a day to stabilize him.
Meta-analysis findings of these studies revealed that the effects of warfarin in reducing thromboembolic events including stroke were similar at either moderately high INR (2.0-4.5) or low INR (1.4-3.0). There was a significant reduction in minor bleeds at the low INR. There are no adequate and well-controlled studies in populations with atrial fibrillation and valvular heart disease. Similar data from clinical studies in valvular atrial fibrillation patients are not available.
