Several factors can lead to an elevated INR in gynecological patients:
Anticoagulant therapy: Patients on anticoagulants may have an elevated INR as a side effect of medication. Liver disease: Liver dysfunction can impair the production of clotting factors, leading to a higher INR. Nutritional deficiencies: Deficiencies in vitamin K can affect clotting and elevate INR levels. Drug interactions: Certain medications can interfere with anticoagulants, increasing INR. Genetic factors: Some individuals have genetic predispositions that affect clotting.
