INR (International Normalised Ratio) measures how long your blood takes to clot. If you take warfarin or another vitamin K antagonist, regular INR testing is essential to ensure your dose keeps your blood within the safe therapeutic range.

An INR that is too low means your blood may clot too easily, increasing stroke or DVT risk. Too high, and you are at increased risk of bleeding. The target range depends on why you take anticoagulants, typically between 2.0 and 3.0 for most conditions, or 2.5 to 3.5 for mechanical heart valves.

Who needs regular INR testing:

  • Patients on warfarin for atrial fibrillation
  • Those with mechanical heart valves
  • People with a history of blood clots (DVT, PE)
  • Anyone on vitamin K antagonist therapy

Why test at Medical Express Clinic:

  • Walk-in appointments available 7 days a week
  • Results the same day
  • GP review included in the price
  • No need to wait for NHS clinic availability
  • Central London location, CQC registered

If your INR is outside the target range, our GP can advise on dose adjustment or refer you back to your anticoagulation clinic with the results.
