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.
Does tinzaparin (Innohep) has a harmful effect on the baby? Which is more advisable for pregnant women, Tinzaparin or Enoxaparin?
PT-INR (the PR-INR was a mistype on my part) is a blood clotting test a lab does to determine how long it would take for you blood to clot. I wam really wanting to talk to some who has both Diabetes and Factor V Lieden (a blood clotting disorder). I did realize that the respondants on this site are not health care providers, I was just hoping to find some one with my same problems or find where I might go to find them.
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.
Would the "marker" used during a CT scan of the lungs have any effect on an INR blood draw monitoring Coumadin dosage??
I'm not sure if the usual "marker" was used or if the more expensive "marker" was used.
Started at 5 mg for 3 days and INR came in at 1.3 Monday.
So was kept at 5 mg the rest of the week except 10 mg on Monday and Wednesday.
2nd Monday's draw was 3.3 so skipped that night and 5 mg the rest of the week.
Questions regarding the efficacy of vitamin K have been gathering based on an increased understanding of the rebalanced hemostasis of liver disease. This study evaluated the effect of vitamin K on the INR 24-72 hours after administration.
Methods: This retrospective chart review used the VA Informatics and Computing Infrastructure (VINCI) database to identify 886 admissions for patients with liver disease who received vitamin K between January 1, 2001 and March 31, 2014.
Futher to discussion re warfarin & eyebleeds (bleeds in eye), I have fairly frequent eybleeds which I find rather scary! The bleed usually continues for at least 2 days & takes over a week to clear. They have become worse & more frequent since I started on warfarin 2005. My INR tends to fluctuate & on 17/12/08 was 2.37. My current warfarin dose is 8 mg daily. Does this problem get worse over time?
Pts are on coumadin for a blood thinning effect, therefore, the side-effect of having low coumadin level or what we typically refer to as INR is that the blood is not thin enough. Depending on why he is on the coumadin (atrial fibrillation, prosthetic valve, DVT, congenital heart disease, etc) he may develop various complications related to clot formation. Coumadin may be difficult to control and adjust.
In addition, niacin may increase the risk of muscle disease called myopathy when used with Crestor® (rosuvastatin). Crestor® (rosuvastatin) significantly increases the INR (enhances the effect of Coumadin to make your blood “thinner” than it would be alone.
If you have a documented history of skin test conversion, INH prophylaxis is appropriate. But given the above medicine interactions, you should have frequent monitoring of both your anticoagulation status (INR) and your liver enzymes.
37 for placebo (10). In a study of 11 patients on stable warfarin, INR increased after 4 days of taking APAP 4 g/day increasing the risk of bleeding (7). A 72-year-old man was on acenocoumarol, chronically self-medicating with APAP 1 to 2 g/day for low back pain. His INR was stable at 2.5, but when APAP was stopped his INR dropped to 1.62. Two weeks later, he restarted APAP and the INR climbed to 2.0 over 4 weeks (5).
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.
I'm trying to calculate my Meld score and I'm missing one entry. I'm missing the INR. I figured it must be 1.2 but that's a guess. Is it on every set of lab reports or just the ones that are for MELD?
It makes no sense that my last labs in June say I have a MELD of 8 when I have had several bleed-outs and have portal hypertension, cirrhosis, and varices with spleen issues.
Any thoughts on this?
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.
Have been on coumadin almost 2 years for mild A fib. Out of the clear blue sky 09 April I had a toilet bowl full of old blood, enough that one couldn't see the bottom of the bowl. Absolutely no other symptoms and no medication changes.
INR at ER was 1.5. Urine culture indicated budding yeast and some bacteria. Xray and CT scan showed no abnormalities in urinary tract . Dx was hematuria.
carbamatic mechanical aortic valve in 2000 for AI. Non Eluding Stent in Nov. 2009. Although published INR range is b/w 2-3 for patients on triple anti-thrombotic therapy of 75mg clopidogrel, 80mg asprin & warfarin,I've also heard that INR of 1.5 - 2 is also acceptable. Kindly verify, confirm, advise, forward relevant studies/trials PDFs.Thank you for your timely response and effort.
