Why do I need blood tests and what do they mean?

Cholesterol

It's important to have your cholesterol levels checked regularly. High blood cholesterol is a significant risk of Heart Attack.

Total Blood Cholesterol Levels Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL) Levels

less than 200 mg/dl = Desirable
200-239 mg/dl = Borderline High
240 mg/dl and over = High Risk

less than 100 mg/dl = those diagnosed with Coronary Heart Disease
less than 130 mg/dl = Desirable
130-159 mg/dl = Borderline
160 mg/dl or Higher = high

High Density Lipoprotein

Triglycerides
less than 35 mg/dl @ risk less than 200 mg/dl = Normal
200-240 mg/dl = Borderline
400-1000 mg/dl = High
greater than 1000 mg/dl = Very High

Prothrombin Time (PT)

This test indicates how fast your blood is clotting. The information helps your health care provider establish the dose of Coumadin® (Warfarin Sodium) you need. Protimes are often recorded as an INR (International Normalized Ratio), a standardized way of measuring protimes.

When you start taking Coumadin®, you may have a protime test done biweekly the first week, then perhaps one time every week. This will help your healthcare provider give you the dosage of Coumadin® that is right for you. Once your healthcare provider decides on that dosage, you will probably need protime tests less often.

Sickness, diet, other medicines (prescriptions and over-the-counter), or physical activities may affect your PT/INR. Tell your healthcare provider about changes in your health, medicines you are taking, or your lifestyle so he or she can adjust your dosage of Coumadin® (Warfarin Sodium), if needed.
