Can you get a DVT if your INR is 2.3. I have APS and my range should be 3.5 -4.
Woke up this morning with a niggle at top of my calf. I self tested and my INr is 2.3.
Rang my doctor all appointments have gone even though I stressed the urgency.
They advised me to ring 111. (UK) Done this and they were very helpful and I am waiting for a clinician to ring me back. But that I would check with everyone on here first.
Many thanks

At the hospital they took a Venus blood test and my INR was actually 1.8! Anyway they gave me clexane injection and 10mg Warfarin. I go back tomorrow for a scan even though my blood test I did not have a DVT. Glad they checking because years ago when I was having recurrent DVT's I never had the obvious symptoms.
Short answer is "it depends" - on you. Real question is can YOU get a DVT at 2.3.
For me, 2.3 is in range and theoretically not a problem, I could still get a DVT but it would not be a particularly high risk (I clot arterially anyway). For YOU 2.3 is way below your range, which means your risk would be far far higher than mine (there will be a reason your range is higher). Hopefully it isn't one, but you've done the right thing.
