View allI'm a little worried about my mom. She's been taking 3mg of warfarin, but her PTINR test just showed 1.27. Since she has heart issues, should we think about upping her dose to 5mg?
An INR of 1.27 indicates that the patient's blood is not clotting as well as it should be on the current dose of warfarin. For a heart patient, the target INR range is usually higher. In this case, it would be advisable to increase the dose of warfarin. I recommend increasing the dose to 4mg and then rechecking the INR in a week to see if it falls within the target range. Regular monitoring and adjustment of the warfarin dose is important to ensure the patient's blood is clotting within the desired range.
