1. Subtherapeutic INR dose adjustment
Anticoagulation clinic staffBackground
An adult receiving stable maintenance warfarin has an INR of 1.7 and a current weekly dose of 35 mg.
Problem
The INR is below the 2.0–3.0 target and the weekly dose change needs to be estimated.
How to use
Enter an INR of 1.7, a weekly dose of 35 mg, leave serious bleeding unchecked, and set the desired decimal places.
{"inr":1.7,"weeklyDose":35,"seriousBleed":false,"decimalPlaces":4}Outcome
The calculator identifies the subtherapeutic 1.5–1.9 category and recommends increasing the weekly dose by 5–15%, producing 36.75–40.25 mg per week or 5.25–5.75 mg per day, with an INR recheck in 7 days.
