Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXXXX,
Thanks for writing in.

I have read through your query in detail.

The normal INR (international normalized ratio) is typically 0.9 to about 1.1 in a healthy individual. It measures the clotting tendency in a patient. For patients on on warfarin therapy, the INR is maintained between 2 and 3.5.

If you do not have any medical condition affecting the blood clotting mechanism then your value of 1.11 is a good number.

Hope this answers your question. Please feel free to correct any oversight in my interpretation of your problems and discuss them in detail as per your requirements.

Hope your query is answered.
Do write back if you have any doubts.

Regards,
Dr.Vivek
