A PT INR test would be used if someone is suspected of having bleeding problems. It is also used to check or diagnose blood related problems (blood clotting).
Platinum, Pt, is a catalyst used to promote the reaction. Without the Pt, the reaction is very very slow or does not occur. Platinum is a true catalyst and is not part of the reaction. The catalytic converter in automobiles is an example. The platinum is not consumed, but promotes the breakdown of harmful gases in exhaust to less harmful gasses.

4 quarts to a gallon , 2 pints to quart so 4 times 2 times 8 times 4 is 32 and if you spill , there are 29 quarts to a gallon.
1 pint = 16 fluid ounces 2 pints = 32 fluid ounces = 1 quart
intermolecular force between the sio2 molecule is greater than that of the co2 molecule....the co2 molecule is in it gaseous state while that of the sio2 is crystalline making the intermolecular force stronger than that of the co2 molecule.
The INR has basically replaced the prothrombin time, or PT.
PT/PTT and INR
PT and INR lab test.
It indicated how long it will take the blood to clot. INR is a ratio taken from the PT.
This is a test derived from another, the prothrombin ratio. It measures the extrinsic clotting pathway system, commonly used to measure warfarin (blood thinning) drugs. A normal, healthy person will have an INR of 1. In warfarin therapy, an INR is usually aimed for around 2.INR is the international normalized value for prothrombin time. It is a value that measures the extrinsic pathway of clotting, and is often used to determine how quickly the person will make clots. It is often used to determine if the patient is on therapeutic doses of blood thinners.
no
Yes, it is recommended to centrifuge a PT INR blood specimen to separate the plasma from the cells. This will help ensure accurate results when measuring the prothrombin time (PT) and international normalized ratio (INR).
A light blue tube is typically used to collect blood for a coumadin test (PT/INR). This tube contains sodium citrate as an anticoagulant to prevent the blood from clotting during testing.
INR
it depends upon the isi of the reagent
A light blue top tube containing 3.2% sodium citrate is typically used to collect blood for PT/INR testing. The sodium citrate acts as an anticoagulant to prevent blood clotting and ensures accurate results. It is important to follow the exact collection procedures specified by the laboratory to avoid any potential issues with the test results.
NO! First, recheck your numbers/ repeat the test.. an INR of 10 is way out of range. Did you accidentally type in 10 when you meant 1.0?? Typically, the target numbers of INR/PT for a patient in warfarin (Coumadin) is between 2.0 and 4.0 (Prothrombin time). An INR/PT of 10 means your patient is at risk to bleed out. Do NOT give another blood thiinner like Heparin, as this will exacerbate the problem. Get the doc on this case involved stat please.
