What Causes Blood Protein Level High Even After Having Coumadin?

My father in law was tested today and advised that his blood proton levels were still to low and he should remain on Coumadin. He has been on Coumadin for about a week and a half to get his clotting controlled in order to allow him to have a prostate biopsy.

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns.
Well, i am not sure if you understood your doctor good. Blood proteins are usually not related to coumadin therapy. And coumadin is used for prevention of deep vein thrombosis. Blood protein sare something else and you shoul dspecify what kind of proteins are yut talking about. If you mean tumor marker PSA then it will not reduce without urologic intervention, If you mean prothrombine time then he should titrate coumadin dosage till adequate prothrombin time is established.
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.

Wishing you good health.
