PT time
A PT test is often called an INR test. The
International Normalized Ratio (INR) is a way
of standardizing the results of prothrombin
time tests because there are different test
methods. INR enables you and your doctor
to understand your coagulation results even
when they come from different labs using
different test methods.
Prothrombin time can also be expressed as
%Quick or in seconds.
Self-testing
If you self-test, you can adjust your medica-
tion dose yourself.
Depending on the training you have received
and the instructions from your healthcare
professional, you might communicate your
results to a healthcare professional or clinic
to receive the appropriate dose adjustment.
Or you may be able to adjust your medication
independently according to a pre-determined
dose-INR schedule developed for you by your
doctor.
