Abstract: Introduction While an INR between 2 and 3 is typically required for effective anticoagulation and carries a low risk of bleeding, the risk of bleeding increases as the INR rises. When there is a significant risk of thromboembolism, an INR of 3-4.5 is required. The risk of bleeding is comparable to that of patients who are not receiving treatment if the INR is less than 1.5. There are several solutions available in the event of bleeding and/or overdose (INR >6). Objective: To investigate the effects of a telehealth program on the international normalized ratio level in patients who used warferin. Methods: 69 patients who visited the cardiology referral clinic at Digna Price Hospital in Port Sudan, Sudan, on warfarin between May 2024 and December 2024 are the subjects of this convenient study. Each participant signed an informed consent form after being informed about the study's details. Age, sex, warferin dosage, and INR outcome. Results: The majority of the 69 patients who used warfrine to participate in this trial were over 50, Warfrine was frequently used to replace valves According to the study's P value of 1.000, there was no discernible correlation between age and rising INR. The INR for the majority of patients in this group was below target, at 34 (29.6%). Discussion: There was shown to be a relationship between warfarin dose and plasma levels. There was no significant association between the two variables, despite a pattern of growing INR with rising plasma warfarin levels. These results confirmed the conclusion of a previous study that the concentration of warfarin has no discernible effect on the INR; this study was limited by its small sample size.
