What Is INR Testing?
INR testing, also called a PT/INR test or prothrombin time test, measures how quickly your blood clots. This blood clotting test is essential for patients taking warfarin or Coumadin to prevent excessive bleeding or clot formation.
Using a simple fingerstick, we provide immediate results and same-visit dose adjustments. Our point-of-care INR testing in San Diego eliminates the need for a separate lab visit while giving you fast, accurate, and convenient monitoring.
