International normalized ratio (INR): 0.8-1.1. The warfarin (Coumadin) dose is changed so that the prothrombin time is longer than normal (by about 1.5 to 2.5 times the normal value or INR values 2 to 3).Prothrombin times are also kept at longer times for people with artificial heart valves, because these valves have a high chance of causing clots to form. PT test may also be called an INR test. INR (international normalized ratio) stands for a way of standardizing the results of prothrombin time tests, no matter the testing method.
This ratio â which allows for easier comparisons of test results from different laboratories â is used if you take blood-thinning medications. In healthy people an INR of 1.1 or below is considered normal. An INR range of 2.0 to 3.0 is generally an effective therapeutic range for people taking warfarin for disorders such as atrial fibrillation or a blood clot in the leg or lung. In certain situations, such as having a mechanical heart valve, you might need a slightly higher INR.
