Can u plz post the Whole Question cos from this it looks like Protein C deficiency but the only thing that differentiates it from Warfarin is the Timing of the PT and INR does the bleeding occur in an acute setting or chronic settting
a Previous Valvular Disease can be indicative of Warfarin dosage but the PT and INR dont Rise until 24-36hrs after ingestion or overdose.
