Hello and welcome to HCM,
Clotting disorders are treated with anti-coagulants.
These disorders are monitored with clotting or coagulation tests like prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) and INR.
The dose of anti-coagulants is calculated by the coagulation tests especially INR.
Thus, consult your treating doctor for prescription of coagulation tests as well as calculation of dosages of anti-coagulants.
Thanks and take care
