The PT INR (Prothrombin Time with INR) test is performed to estimate blood's ability to clot and is available at an affordable price in Navi Mumbai with Tata 1mg labs. It helps provide essential information to manage bleeding or clotting disorders. The PT INR (Prothrombin Time with INR) test can be done if you have symptoms of bleeding or clotting disorders, such as unexplained heavy bleeding, easy bruising, unusual heavy nose bleeds, leg swelling, redness on the legs, or chest pain. It also helps monitor and adjust medication dosages in patients taking anticoagulant medications, such as warfarin. PT/INR test is also vital in diagnosing conditions such as hemophilia, liver disease, and vitamin K deficiency, which can impair the blood's ability to clot blood.

The INR is a standardized interpretation of the PT results. It is calculated to ensure consistency in interpreting PT values across different laboratories and testing methods. The INR is particularly important when monitoring patients on anticoagulant medications, such as warfarin. It helps adjust medication dosages to maintain blood clotting within a therapeutic range. Higher-than-normal values indicate that blood takes a longer time to clot, whereas lower-than-normal values could indicate a clotting disorder where blood takes less time to clot. 

Usually, overnight fasting (8-12 hours) is preferred before a PT/INR test, and a duly filled coagulation requisition form is mandatory for sample collection.
