INR may just be indicative of a bleeding disorder

[Guest guest]

On the other hand, there could be a connection to later stages of liver

disease.  Here is a brief:

 

" International normalized ratio (INR) is blood-clotting test. It is a test used

to measure how quickly your blood forms a clot, compared with normal clotting

time.

 

A normal INR is 1.0. Each increase of 0.1 means the blood is slightly thinner

(it takes longer to clot). INR is related to the prothrombin time (PT). If there

is serious liver disease and cirrhosis, the liver may not produce the normal

amount of proteins and then the blood is not able to clot normally. When your

doctor is evaluating the function of your liver, a high INR usually means that

the liver is not working as well as it could because it is not making the blood

clot normally. "

to Hepatitis C.
