Sat here in hospital waiting for inr result as yesterday's one of 1.7 is to risky to operate........ Everyone else in the ward has been done and is drinking tea and biscuits...... Apparently inr needs to be under 1.
This warfarin and antiphospholipid syndrome milarky is a nightmare. My inr was 5 last week and 4..7 Monday followed protocol to the letter what a waste of time effort money and worry
Is anything ever going to get better?
Just been told now I'm 1,2 inr and awaiting doctors update.
fingers crossed they will be happy with 1.2, it is so close to uncoagulated.
I'm not sure I understand your post.
Are you bridging from warfarin? For my surgery and my tooth extraction I bridged from the long half life warfarin to short life injectible. I came off warfarin, gave myself some shots twice a day, then missed a shot and since the effective time range of the injectible is only hours, by surgery time I was back to normal sludge blood. Then after an uneventful surgery, back to shots and warfarin until the warfarin was back to therapeutic INR.
By following this procedure you decrease the time your blood is sludgy, but also ensure the surgeon doesn't deal with scary bleeds.
I am having a operation on Monday I have taken my last warfin tonight then got to go to hospital for 5 night at 6 to have injection but when I had my wisdom tooth out my inr was under 4 they are going to do my inr on Monday to see if it's ok did not know it had to be that low if you don't mind wot are you having done good luck x
HIGH INR DUE TO 72 FASTING FOR TEST IN HOSPITAL
Switching from warfarin to Rivoroxaban - INR needs to be below 2.5
