POCT INR

Patients receiving anticoagulant therapy will have their POCT INR measured regularly to ensure that their INR is maintained within the appropriate range. This test may occasionally be used on a patient not taking anticoagulant medicine to check for a bleeding disorder, liver disease, Vitamin K deficiency or to ensure clotting ability before surgery.
