A person who does not take any anticoagulants (oral anticoagulants) has typically an INR value of 1. A measured INR value of 2 means that blood coagulation takes twice as long. Consequently, with an INR of 3, coagulation takes three times as long. Conclusion: the higher the INR value, i.e. prolonged coagulation time, the more coagulation is inhibited.
