The test for the "!thin/thick" of the blood is called INR.
People who are on blood thinners like Coumadin or warfarin must have this check done regularly
. My wife has hers done once per month. The most up to date methods take a blood sample and within minutes obtain the results. And at times dosages are adjusted based on the too thick or too thin results.
