What causes your NIR to be high while taking blood thinners?

High NIR (Normalized Index of Retention) levels while on blood thinners can result from several factors, including alterations in blood viscosity and changes in the dynamics of blood flow. Blood thinners, such as anticoagulants, affect clotting mechanisms, which may lead to variations in how blood interacts with the measurement equipment. Additionally, individual responses to medication, hydration status, and underlying health conditions can also influence NIR levels. Regular monitoring and consultation with a healthcare provider are essential for managing these effects.
