Is it dangerous to have a 6.5 blood level of Coumadin or Warfarin sodium which is above the level 2 that is recommended and what should be done?
I am assuming by "blood level" that you mean the International Normalized Ratio (INR), as we do not normally check the actual blood level of Warfarin. Warfarin is a commonly used anticoagulant (blood thinner) medication. The level of INR that a patient requires actually varies depending upon the condition they are being treated for. 6.5 is never a therapeutic goal for Warfarin. Elevated INR levels indicate that a patient may bleed. The management for an INR of 6.5 depends upon the presence of bleeding. If the patient is not actively bleeding, it is appropriate to hold the next two scheduled doses of Warfain and monitor the INR. The Warfarin may be resumed when the INR is back to range. IF the patient is bleeding, the Warfarin will need to be stopped and Vitamin K needs to be administered, as well as medical treatment for bleeding. This would be the standard of care in this case.
What does an elevated immunoglobulin e result indicate?
Elevated Immunoglobulin levels typically indicate an current infection in the body. What kind of infection is determined by the type of immunoglobulins that are elevated. Immunoglobulins are membrane bound to naive B cell. An antibody is a secreted form of immunoglobulin that is used to fight infection directly or indirectly in various ways. Elevated immunoglobulin levels could also be a result of some lymphomas, especially if one particular immunoglobulin is extremely elevated over the others due to clonal expansion of the mylomal tumor.
