International normalized ratio (INR): 0.8-1.1. The warfarin (Coumadin) dose is changed so that the prothrombin time is longer than normal (by about 1.5 to 2.5 times the normal value or INR values 2 to 3).Prothrombin times are also kept at longer times for people with artificial heart valves, because these valves have a high chance of causing clots to form. PT test may also be called an INR test. INR (international normalized ratio) stands for a way of standardizing the results of prothrombin time tests, no matter the testing method.
This amount is then compared to an average to establish your international normalized ratio (INR). It is important that your INR levels are within normal limits. If your ratio is too high, it means it takes longer for your blood to clot and you may have an increased risk for uncontrollable bleeding. If your INR falls below the normal levels, your blood may clot too quickly and increase your risk for a stroke. (Click INR for more details on the specific levels of INR that are considered within a normal range, as well as information on how often this ratio needs to be checked.)
