Intrahospital Correlation of the International Normalized Ratio
Clinical and Applied Thrombosis/Hemostasis, 2008 Background. Monitoring of oral anticoagulant therapy (OAT) is usually accomplished by measuring prothrombin time and the international normalized ratio (INR). However, thromboplastins have different responsiveness and sensitivity to vitamin K—dependent coagulation factors depletion.

Clinical utilization of the international normalized ratio (INR) [PDF]
Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, 2000 The prothrombin time (PT) is one of the most important laboratory tests to determine the functionality of the blood coagulation system. It is used in patient care to diagnose diseases of coagulation, assess the risk of bleeding in patients undergoing operative procedures, monitor patients being treated with oral anticoagulant (coumadin) therapy, and ...
