Protime levels are high but diet is consistant...what else could be causing the problems?

asking for someone else. the boy eats a very consistent and healthy diet but his levels have been high for the past couple weeks. He hasn't been overheated or over exhausted either.

Update:

i know the coumadin dosage has to be changed plus he needs to be rechecked but thats not so fun for some people so the family is wondering whats up and what else can be done to get it back to its usual range.

my dad was on the medication too and he coudnt get around very well so having to go for so many rechecks was really hard on both of us so i know the frustration these people are feeling

maybe its just "one of those things"

    Some people just do not adjust as well to coumadin therapy as others. My level is always about 2.5 -3, but my brother has to have an adjustment in dosage about every other month. His diet is consistent and he doesn't take any meds he isn't supposed to.

    I would try to make sure that he isn't taking ibuprofen,or other OTC medications that could affect his levels.

    Your physician can on the whole have made on hand to you a nutritionist or other program to satisfy your man or woman wishes and suggest on food plan and losing a few pounds..It might be unwise to direct you here, not figuring out your character wishes, and clinical historical past.. And so on. I am diabetic .. I learned lots going.. Just ask your health practitioner.. Many applications are free / covered by way of your insurance. Some counties have packages that you would be able to attend as well. I used to be surprised at what i can eat, i suggestion might on no account have again.. I exploit splenda as a substitute of regular sugar.. Undertaking, and doing it right by using following right guidelines is primary.. And get the stress off.. That has been the largest assignment for me... It impacts so many areas of ones lifestyles with diabetes i have found out. It is not all bad information.. It's lifestyles alterations.. But, by following the advocate of your health care provider , you'll be able to have a far better out look on life than notion it would be to start with. If you do not get the aid you consider want along with your medical professional, get another health care provider... Just right luck..

    Coumadin dose needs adjustment. No particular reason for this.
