My INR was a bit high. It came out to 1.12 and the normal range is 0.8 - 1.1. If my blood is taking a little longer to clot, would this pose a threat if I’m doing a bbl, tummy tuck, lipo on arms, chin, and cheeks? My pcp and surgeon said it should be fine but I’m hoping I find others that had issues with blood clots or tested high on this particular test.
Answer: INR Hello, and thanks for your question. Your INR is only slightly elevated-I would feel comfortable performing a procedure on you with these lab levels. Please see a board-certified physician for your consultation. Best of luck to you!

Answer: Borderline high INR Hi and welcome to our forum!Your INR (international normalized ratio) is not exceptionally high, essentially borderline. This should not pose a clotting problem unless other parameters are abnormal.Best wishes...
