Hi,I am Dr. Robert Galamaga (Hematologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Got a blood test the other day and the person doing it said my blood is thin and asked if I take blood thinners. I DO NOT. I do take lipitor and lotrel. I also had 4 beers the night before. Last drink was done about 12 hrs before blood test. Can anything I wrote contribute to blood thinning?
Hi, dear I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern. You should go for prothrombin time with INR. If it is raised then you should go for complete coagulation profile. You may have some coagulation disorder. Search for the cause and take treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
