father inlaw died his coumadin level was 2.5 times high?

Question:

Answers:
I'm so sorry to hear that. That is a blood thinner, and it can be very dangerous if the blood gets too thick or too thin. It has to be monitored very closely.

this scares the crap out of me, as my father was put on cumadin last week... his blood level (thickness? i'm a novice i admit) was at a 1 and they wanted it at a 2 before they'd let him out of the hospital... well all was fine on friday, but by monday he was at a 5!! he's also diabetic. cumadin is nasty, scary crap...

sorry to hear of your loss, i just hope to all that's good and pure that no one else i know has to go on that rat poison...

I am sorry for your loss and grief. When a person is on coumadin, it is important that they have regular check ups at the doctor. The doctor performs a blood test that checks the coumadin level. And then the doctor can adjust the level accordingly. By either increasing dosage amount or taking away some of the dosage.
