Does 1.3 INR mean blood is too thick?
Having inr of 1.3 means blood is on the thinner side
Is a higher inr indicative of thinner or thicker blood?
I high INR reading does not technically means your blood is too "thin." It means that it takes your blood longer to clot.
What does hyperviscosity mean?
blood that is too thick
Is 4.4 to high for inr on warfarin?
Does 5.6 mean that your blood is too thin, when you take coumiden

How can blood be drawn in a phlebotomy if it is too thick as with iron overload?
I have never heard of that at all. If the blood is too thick to be drawn, you are probably dead because it can't circulate through the system. I am a nurse and have drawn gallons of blood and it's never been too thick. Maybe I misunderstood the question.
What has the most important effect on blood velocity?
Blood viscosity is the most important efect on blood velocity. Viscosity meaning how thin or thick the blood is. Velocity meaning the flow of blood. If the blood is too thick it's velocity will be slow. If the blood is thin, the blood will flow faster.
How do you make sure a persons INR is at a good level?
To ensure a person's INR (International Normalized Ratio) is at a good level, regular monitoring through blood tests is essential, especially for those on anticoagulant therapy like warfarin. The target INR level is typically determined based on the individual's condition and treatment plan. Adjustments to medication dosage may be needed to keep the INR within the desired range to prevent blood clots or excessive bleeding.
Why does the heart have thick muscle?

Is an inr of 7.0 dangerous?
Yes, 7.4 is a very high level for INR! Normally (in 95% of healthy adults) it should range between 0.8 and 1.3. However, in people taking warfarin a normal INR level is somewhere between 2 and 3. High levels of INR are associated with: Disorders affecting clotting factors; Warfarin usage; Vitamin K deficiency; Liver disease; Disseminated intravascular coagulation etc.
Do you want your blood to be thick or thin?
That is too vague. You want it to be a certain viscosity so it is neither too thick nor too thin. If this is critical, as it is for many people, you need to be tested monthly and possibly take warfarin to stabilise the viscosity.
If pt level is low is your blood to thin or thick?
Too thick. PT stands for Prothrombin Time. The lower the PT value the faster (fewer number of seconds) the blood takes to clot- the blood is "thicker". The higher the PT value the longer the blood takes to clot because the blood is "thinner".
