Can drinking grape juice cause an INR to increase when taking coumadin?
Yes, drinking grape juice can potentially increase INR levels in individuals taking Coumadin (warfarin). Grape juice contains compounds that can inhibit cytochrome P450 enzymes, which are involved in the metabolism of warfarin. This inhibition can lead to higher concentrations of warfarin in the bloodstream, resulting in an increased INR and a greater risk of bleeding. It's advisable for patients on warfarin to consult their healthcare provider before consuming grape juice or similar products.
What does an INR of 3.5 indicate?
An INR of 3.5 is a bit above the goal of 2.0 - 3.0 for proper anticoagulation to be achieved - for those taking warfarin (or Coumadin = brand name) especially.

Warafin is a blood thinner so in theory it should decrease your INR but if your doseage is incorrect it could go either way ^^^^^ This idiot is not true. INR is a ratio of your clotting time compared to the nationalized ratio. If one were to take warfarin, their INR would INCREASE, not decrease.

I've been on Warfarin for ages but I still got a clot while on it even though my INR results were extremely high does a INR test for medication levels or is it testing actual clotting time?
The INR test measures how quickly your blood clots while on Warfarin. A high INR indicates slower clotting time. However, factors like a vitamin K-rich diet, certain medications, or medical conditions can affect how Warfarin works, leading to clots despite high INR levels.
What medical condition can interfere with warfarin treatment?
Warfarin is a type of anticoagulant. It is used to prevent harmful blood clots from forming within the body. Patients taking warfarin will need to have regular blood tests in order to ensure that their INR (international normalized ratio) falls within normal range; otherwise they have a risk of excessive bleeding.
