What is me?

I am described as "international normalized relationship". MNO and its derivatives are laboratory indicators defined to evaluate the external path of blood flowing.

In use you can also find information that the level of many shows how much blood is "liquid". In such a format, patients are easier to understand the meaning of this parameter. Simple words, the greater the value of many, the blood is more liquid. And vice versa, the smaller the value of many, the blood is thinner

Self-control during the coronavirus pandemic

At the moment, the whole world and our country has encountered an unprecedented threat to health due to coronavirus pandemic. In this difficult time, it is especially important to avoid unnecessary contacts and visits to places with the accumulation of people. Self-control is a reliable alternative to the measurement of many in the laboratory.

If a mechanical valve was implanted, or less than three months after the prosthetics of the biological valve, and also if there is a rhythm violation – atrial fibrillation or other thrombosis risk factors, you need to take such drugs such as anticoagulants, or "blood dilutions" (usually warfarin) . They can be spelled out by a doctor to prevent the formation of blood clots. These drugs prolong the period of time during which your blood is folded.

In recent years, Warfarin has been most commonly used, which blocks the formation of vitamin – to-dependent factors for blood intake. The concentration of these blood components is reduced, the process of blood intake slows down.

Warfarin is prescribed 1 time per day at the same time (usually at 17 o'clock).

The action of warfarin should be carefully monitored by analyzing blood (many). The doctor will select you the necessary dosage that you need to strictly stick. Your attending physician will determine how often the blood test needs to be done. 5

Control MFO must at least once a month or more. one

Also, your doctor may recommend self-testing more often – from 2 to 4 times a month, because the many different factors can affect the indicators – changes in the diet, the reception of other drugs or alcohol. one

In this case, the most optimal measurement frequency of meters can be considered a weekly change. In favor of this recommendation, there are a number of international publications and scientific data, because it is the weekly control of MNO that it allows patients to be in the therapeutic range of 80% of the time. 2.3 And in the therapeutic range up to 75% of the time, in turn, leads to a decrease in the risks of stroke, large bleeding and mortality at least 2 times! 4
