Monitoring is not just about numbers, it’s about keeping you safely within the right therapeutic range.

What Is PT/INR Testing?

PT/INR testing measures how quickly your blood clots and evaluates how well anticoagulant medications are working.

  • PT (Prothrombin Time) measures clotting time
  • INR (International Normalized Ratio) standardizes results for accurate monitoring

These values help ensure your blood is not clotting too quickly (which increases risk of clots) or too slowly (which increases risk of bleeding).

Why Regular Monitoring Is Important

Patients on anticoagulants such as warfarin require regular PT/INR testing to:

  • Maintain safe and effective medication levels
  • Reduce the risk of excessive bleeding
  • Prevent dangerous blood clots
  • Adjust dosages based on changes in health, diet, or medications
  • Ensure long-term treatment remains stable

Even small changes in INR levels can significantly impact safety, making routine monitoring essential.

Who Needs PT/INR Testing?

We provide PT/INR monitoring for patients with:

  • Atrial fibrillation
  • History of blood clots (DVT or pulmonary embolism)
  • Mechanical heart valves
  • Certain cardiovascular conditions
  • Long-term anticoagulant therapy

We also monitor patients when medications, diet, or health status changes may affect clotting levels.

In-Office Monitoring for Safer, More Convenient Care

Having PT/INR testing available within your primary care office offers important advantages:

  • Faster access to results
  • Immediate medication adjustments when needed
  • Reduced need for outside lab visits
