1. Chek if di Warfarin mɛrɛsin de wok fayn.

Warfarin , we sɔm pipul dɛn kin no wit di brand nem Coumadin® , na wan tin we de mek blɔd tan. Dɛn kin gi am fɔ mek di blɔd we de mek pɔsin denja nɔ kam. If dɛn nɔ trit dɛn fayn, pipul dɛn we de pan denja fɔ mek blɔd klɔt kin gɛt siriɔs sik lɛk Dip Vein Thrombosis (DVT) ɔ Pulmonary Embolism (PE) na dɛn vein. So, bɔku tɛm dɔktɔ dɛn kin du dis PT tɛst fɔ mek shɔ se di doz fɔ di warfarin we dɛn de gi yu kɔrɛkt.

2. Pripia bifo yu du di ɔpreshɔn

4. Chek fɔ si if yu gɛt liva sik

As a bin dɔn tɔk, na di liva de mek wan prɔtin we dɛn kɔl prothrombin. So, prɔblɛm wit prothrombin na sayn fɔ se yu kin gɛt liva sik. di PT tεst na wan pan di liva fכnshכn tεst dεm we dεn kin du fכ si aw di liva de wok fayn εn aw bכku liva sik de.

Aw dɛn kin du dis Prothrombin Taym Tɛst?

Dis na wan rili simpul blɔd tɛst. Afta dɛn dɔn pul smɔl blɔd frɔm yu, di lab kin ad wan tin we dɛn kɔl tromboplastin to di blɔd sɛmpul. Dis kin ɛp di blɔd fɔ klɔt. Dɔn, wan spɛshal pɔsin we de wok na di lɛb kin yuz wan tin fɔ no aw lɔng i kin tek fɔ mek yu blɔd sɛmpul klot.

Aw fɔ pripia fɔ di PT Tɛst?

Yu dɔktɔ go ɛksplen aw fɔ rɛdi fɔ dis. Yu go nid fɔ du dɛn tin ya:

• Nɔ tek sɔm mɛrɛsin dɛn: Fɔ ɛgzampul, sɔm mɛrɛsin dɛn lɛk antibayɔtik , kin mek yu PT/INR bɔku. Dɔn bak, tin dɛn lɛk ɔral bɔn kɔntrol pils ɛn ɔmon riplesmɛnt tɛrapi kin mek yu PT go dɔŋ.

Sɔntɛnde, dɛn kin du dis tɛst bay we dɛn tek smɔl blɔd na yu finga. I gɛt bak PT tɛst kit dɛn we yu kin du na os we kin wok bay we dɛn kin tek blɔd na yu finga. If yu de tek warfarin ɛn nid fɔ tek dis tɛst ɔltɛm, yu dɔktɔ kin tɛl yu fɔ yuz wan tin we yu kin yuz na os lɛk dis. If na so, dɛn go tɛl yu aw fɔ yuz am ɛn aw fɔ ripɔt di rizɔlt to yu dɔktɔ.

Wetin na di rizulyt dɛn we wi kin gɛt? Wetin i min?

Di lab de ripɔt di rizɔlt fɔ di PT tɛst insay sɛkɔn, ɔ (mɔ kɔmɔn wan) as valyu we dɛn kɔl di Intanɛshɔnal Nɔmalayz Rɛshɔn (INR) . Dis INR valyu na standad mɛzhɔmɛnt we di Wɔl Ɛlth Ɔganayzeshɔn (WHO) dɔn introduks. Dɛn bin introduks dis INR we fɔ mek shɔ se di rizɔlt nɔ difrɛn bikɔs ɔf smɔl difrɛns pan di we aw dɛn de tɛst difrɛn lab dɛn, ɛn ɔlman kin gi di sem intapriteshɔn.

Na di nɔmal rɛnj fɔ PT/INR rizɔlt dɛn:

• If insay sɛkɔn: 11 to 13.5 sɛkɔn.
• INR valyu: 0.8 to 1.1. (Dis na fɔ pɔsin we nɔ de tek blɔd thinner lɛk warfarin)
• If yu de tek warfarin, yu INR fɔ de bitwin 2.0 ɛn 3.0 . (Bɔt, pan sɔm mɛrɛsin, dɛn kin want fɔ gɛt ay ɔ smɔl INR. Na yu dɔktɔ go disayd dis.)

Abnɔmal PT rizɔlt

If yu gɛt ay PT tɛst rizɔlt ɔ INR, dat min se yu blɔd de tek lɔng pas aw i nɔmal fɔ mek i klot. If yu nɔ de tek warfarin, dis kin bi sayn fɔ se yu gɛt prɔblɛm wit yu blɔd, yu gɛt prɔblɛm wit yu liva, ɔ yu gɛt prɔblɛm wit yu liva. I kin min bak se yu nɔ gɛt inof vaytamɛn K na yu bɔdi.

If yu de tek warfarin, yu INR valyu kin bi abnɔmal (i tu ay ɔ tu smɔl) fɔ dɛn rizin ya:

• If wan mɛrɛsin we yu de tek fɔ ɔda kɔndishɔn afɛkt di we aw warfarin de wok ɛn i de mek yu INR go ɔp ɔ dɔŋ.

Aw lɔng i kin tek fɔ no di tɛst rizɔlt?

Bɔrku pipul kin gɛt dɛn PT/INR tɛst rizɔlt insay sɔm awa ɔr wan de. Finga stik tɛst kin gi rizɔlt insay minit. Bɔt if dɛn nid fɔ sɛn yu blɔd sɛmpul to ɔda lɛb, i kin tek sɔm dez fɔ mek di rizɔlt kam bak.

If di tin dɛn we kin apin nɔ kin fayn, wetin yu kin du nɛks?

Dɔktɔ dɛn kin yuz ɔl tu di PT tɛst ɛn di PTT tɛst rizɔlt fɔ disayd wetin fɔ du nɛks. Dipen pan yu kɔndishɔn, yu dɔktɔ kin ɔda fɔ mek dɛn du mɔ tɛst. Dɛn kin du dis fɔ no di sik kɔrɛkt wan ɛn bigin di rayt tritmɛnt fɔ am. Di PT tɛst na wan pan di fɔs tɛst dɛm fɔ no if pɔsin gɛt blɔd ɔ klɔt disɔda. Fɔ kɔnfirm di diagnosis, dɛn nid fɔ du mɔ tɛst.

If yu de tek warfarin, yu dɔktɔ go ajɔst yu doz fɔ mek yu blɔd kɔntinyu fɔ klot fayn, ɛn yu nɔ go gɛt prɔblɛm fɔ mek yu blɔd klot.

Ustɛm a fɔ kɔl mi dɔktɔ?

If yu gɛt ɛni kwɛstyɔn bɔt aw fɔ pripia fɔ dis PT tɛst, aw fɔ gɛt di rizɔlt, ɔ wetin fɔ du nɛks, mek shɔ se yu aks yu dɔktɔ. Bikɔs ɔlman in sityueshɔn difrɛn, na yu dɔktɔ nɔmɔ go ebul fɔ gi yu di bɛst gayd fɔ wetin yu rizɔlt min fɔ yu wɛlbɔdi plan.

Mɛmba se we yu kɔt ɛn yu de blɔd, yu bɔdi kin mek wan klot kwik kwik wan fɔ stɔp di blɔd ɛn bigin fɔ wɛl. If dat nɔ apin, dɔktɔ dɛn kin yuz dis Prothrombin Time (PT) tɛst fɔ no wetin mek.

Fɔ tɔk smɔl, tin dɛn fɔ mɛmba

Okay, so na sɔm pan di men tin dɛn we yu nid fɔ mɛmba frɔm wetin wi dɔn tɔk bɔt tide:
