Initialism of International Normalized Ratio. An indicator of the clotting tendency of blood. Used, for example, to help determine dosage for patients during oral anticoagulant therapy. Outside the normal or target range, a high INR may indicate a higher risk of bleeding, while a low INR may suggest a higher risk of developing a clot.
