The PT/INR blood test showed thinner than normal blood for a patient taking Coumadin. This indicates elevated Coumadin levels and the Coumadin needs to be adjusted to a lower strength.
Blood level of what?
You cannot accurately check Coumarin level by taking pulse! You need a blood test. Warfarin thins the blood.
Changes in Coumadin (warfarin) levels can be influenced by factors like diet, medication interactions, liver function, alcohol consumption, genetics, and certain medical conditions. Regular monitoring of the international normalized ratio (INR) is necessary to ensure the appropriate dosage of Coumadin is maintained.
yes
Coumadin (warfarin) is the active ingredient in rat poison. That being said, Coumadin is dosed, for humans, in a manner which prevents blood clotting (especially for those at risk), and does not act as a poison at the therapeutic dosage level. (However, when rats ingest the high concentrations of warfarin in rat poison, they bleed to death, internally.)
If your hemoglobin level is low, you need to do something about it. The question is how low? If it is below 8, you may need a blood transfusion. If it is above that, you need to start eating red meat, green vegetables, and taking an iron supplement.
Spinach, Lean Ground Beef, Any Green Vegetables, and fish.
Yes. Coumadin (warfarin) is taken as an anticoagulant to help prevent a heart attack/stroke. A reading of 1.0 is far below the correct range of 2.0 to 3.0. To fix the problem, doctors generally prescribe a larger dose (up to 5mg) and insist on weekly blood tests. There are some foods which tend to counteract the benefits of coumadin (e.g. broccoli) and thus a doctor may suggest a change in diet. The key element here is moderation and no major binges.
The Coumadin (warfarin) level is detemrined using an international normalised ratio (INR). Usually the desired range is an INR of 2 to 3, although sometimes different ranges are used.
omg that is so messed up you should see a doctor or eat you green vegetables
bannana, grapes, tomato strawberry, kiwie, blackberries these fruits and vegetables are spinach, cron, carrots, mashroom, potatos, sweet potatos, broccoli, peas etc. these are increas heamoglobin level in blood cell. genaraly it happens in children and owmen and pregnant owmen. if heamoglobin level more decrease then you consult with doctorShaljam and Palak are the best sources in fruits and vegetables;if you are a non-veg - Liver is the richest sourceRB-TONE - a tonic specially for the purpose.Wishing everybody best health.......Green leafy vegetables, liver, rice flakes, dates, are some of the foods which increase
