Is an INR bood sample that is 2.0 thin or thick?

An INR (International Normalized Ratio) of 2.0 indicates a level of blood thinning. Typically, an INR of 1.0 is considered normal for someone not on anticoagulants, while an INR of 2.0 suggests that the blood is thinner than normal. Therefore, an INR of 2.0 is considered thin blood, which can help prevent clotting but may increase the risk of bleeding.
