mscyn4u Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 Carlton, my husband had that situation last week and was put on Heparin, to thin the blood. I gathered if it is to thick it can "clot" up more, I believe, I just know they treated him with Heparin and had to do draw blood every so many hours checking the PT rate, which has something to do with the clotting ability.. They want it thin but not to thinned out.. I hope that helps... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimblanchard Posted July 31, 2003 Share Posted July 31, 2003 Carlton, My husband is on Coumadin and has his blood checked regularly. He did have blood clots in his lungs but thankfully now they are gone. Blessings to you, Peg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
