Do you have to be off of blood thinners to get accurate results for sticky blood. When I went in the hospital with pulmonary embolisms, the lab said I had sticky blood. When I had genetic testing, I was on warfarin. I'm wondering if I should have been off of warfarin.

Not every patient passes all three tests. I normally pass two out of three.
I hope your medical consultant/GP can answer some of your questions.
