could you please send me any literature on foods that have a reaction on the I.N.R. Results. As I have a patient who's I.N.R. jumped from 2.7 to 3.7. We have gone over all the usual blood thinning culprit's
Any help would be useful. Many thanks

Hi Karen,
If a person's diet is consistent, no matter how unusual it is, it should not affect the INR. A big factor the the Vitamin K content of the food, so if a patient suddenly eats a diet with a change in the Vit K amount it will alter the INR.

Increase in Vit K -> low INR and vice versa.

Here is a useful list:

Hi Colm.
I am having difficulty contacting you by email. I need to register the software asap for our clinic in Cyprus.
Please can you email me the Paypal instructions?

Kind Regards

Hi Nicky,

We have a trial of RAT, and it looks good. One question how can we sort patients alphabetically.
I have looked at the video and the forums and no one else seems to have this problem.

Thanks for your posting on the forum.
Not sure what you mean by sorting the patients alphabetically.

When you click on the 'Red magnet' this sorts the patients in date order for INR review.
