INR stands for *International Normalized Ratio*. It is a standardized way to report a blood-clotting test called the prothrombin time (PT). INR is most commonly used to monitor the effect of the blood thinner warfarin. It is also referenced when clinicians assess bleeding or clotting risk in certain illnesses.
