Hi Doctor - I’ve already updated the reports that I had. Can you connect with me on phone so I can explain the issue and my question please? My number is 0000, or I can call you if you provide your number.

His jaundice is under control but the INR has not come down, it’s gone from 1.4 to 1.6 to now 1.9. I need your help to understand if that is normal or it’s alarming and I should get a second opinion?
