Your inr are 7.5 somebody said you need a blood tranfusion?
No. At 7.5 You should probably skip a dose of coumadin and take half the next day and be retested, but there is no need for a transfusion at 7.5. My dr. would give a dose of vitamin K at 10 and monitor closely, but it has to be pretty high for a transfusion...I would guess over 15.
