What Does The INR Reading Of 5.2 Indicate?
My husband has been on warfarin for quite some time and his recent INR reading wa 5.0. He was told to skip a dosage and go have it read the next day and it was 5.2. He was told to get to the ER and have a checkup. We are going on vacation out of the country and I am concerned as to what could happen.
