The International Normalized Ratio (INR) is a standardized measure used to assess blood coagulation, particularly for patients on anticoagulant therapy, such as warfarin. It helps determine the effectiveness of blood-thinning medications by comparing a patient's prothrombin time to a normal range. The INR provides a consistent way to monitor and adjust dosages to prevent complications like thrombosis or excessive bleeding. Regular INR testing is crucial for ensuring patient safety and optimal therapeutic outcomes.
