Three months ago, I underwent bypass surgery. Recent blood tests show an INR of 4. My doctor has advised taking Acitrom 1 mg. Could you please explain what this means and if this treatment is appropriate?

INR raised is suggesting that blood is clotting not properly hence the dose of Acitrom should be checked by your doctor and reduced accordingly. Repeat INR and clotting factors blood test . Rest precautions of not bleeding due to injury should be kept in mind

My skin bruises very easily, even with light bumps. I have had a complete CBC blood test, and all results are normal. I am not sure what could be causing this. Please advise what might be the reason and if any further tests are needed.
