What is the normal INR for atrial fibrillation?

For a patient with atrial fibrillation on warfarin their ‘normal’ INR should be 2.0 to 3.0 . Sounds simple, just add a line ‘on warfarin’ to the labs to indicate this. But what if in fact they are on warfarin for a mechanical mitral valve rather than atrial fibrilatlion, their target actually is an INR of 2.5 to 3.5. Or what if they were on warfarin, and then incurred a thrombosis, and their hematologist increased their target INR dose. Hmm, now its getting tricky. How does the lab now when to flag this as ‘abnormal’. I guess it will just default to always flagging it with the ‘physiologic’ reference range…although the purpose of checking this lab is to check if the patient is at ‘target’ not as ‘normal physiologic’ level.

What color are abnormal lab results?

On computers, abnormal labs may be display in a different color from the rest. Such as blue or red. Sometimes the ‘cell’ that contains the abnormal result is a different color. Sometimes arrows try to indicate that a lab is ‘further’ outside the reference range.

Why is the abnormal flag important?

Therefore the abnormal flag is an important safety check to help alert physicians that the resulted lab is outside that lab’s reference range. Fourth, the flag act as a visual trigger to direct attention to results that require careful attention and prevent them from being overlooked.

Why do labs use N?

Labs often will display the “Reference Range”. But then they use markers such as “N” to indicate ‘normal’. There is a bit of double speak here. The lab doesn’t want to say they are providing the ‘range of normal’, because that may not be ‘normal’ for the many reasons discussed in this article. However, at the same time, they are using the word ‘normal’ to discuss the lab value in relation to the range.
