Abstract

INR monitoring can be difficult for patients. Vitamin K plays a major role in the regulation of INR control and warfarin efficacy. Fluctuations in daily vitamin K intake can alter INR values, leading to coagulopathic adverse events. Consistent daily vitamin K intake may help patients improve INR control.
