Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. If its serum protein, not to worry. However, if its urine protein and its high, it indicates possible renal disease.
2. Continue with regular warfarin. Check for INR regularly to correct the dose.
3. If you have increased urine protein, a renal biopsy may be necessary.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
