Hi everyone,

I think c2clubs is refering to the prothrombin time (PT) test which is also called INR test (International Normalized Ratio). Its a blood test that measures how long it takes for the blood to clot, usually to check for bleeding problems.

Yes thanks I am, I have to have my warfarin levels checked on a regular basis. Presumably the local medical centres will do it
