Hello
Thanks for query .

Based on the facts that you have posted it appears that your mother landed in pulmonary thrombosis secondary to kidney infection and is on anticoagulants and her PT INR is being watched frequently .

However her PT INR was raised to 15 and was wrongly reported to be 1.5 resulting into internal bleeding in GI tract which reflected as a malena (Occult blood in stools). and her serum creatinine has been detected raised to 3.9 mg .

The raised serum creatinine is likely to be due primarily due to kidney infection and not due to raised PT INR.

Consult qualified Nephrologist for assessment .

Taking adequate fluids and antibiotics with diuretics should help to normalize her kidney function and lower down her creatinine levels .
