international normalised ratio is the ratio between patient prothrombin time and an international standard normalised value for the test solution.
if inr will normally be aaroud 1. in anticoagulation with heparin in af, dvt etc it shud be kept at around 4 -5 . if it is more there is a high risk of heamorhage

ALWAYS
PROTHROMBIN TIME --- WARFARIN --- EXTRINSIC PATHWAY
PARTIAL TROMBOPLASTIN TIME --- HEPARIN -- INTRINSIC PATHWAY
