The international normalized ratio (INR) may not be directly applicable to patients with liver disease. We aimed to establish an alternative INR calibration system for patients with liver disease and to evaluate the effect of their use in chronic liver disease patients. Eighty-two patients with liver cirrhosis (LC) were included, and their prothrombin times (PTs) were measured by using 5 commercial thromboplastins. Each of the thromboplastins was also assigned an international sensitivity index (ISIliver) by the plasmas from LC patients. INRvka, INRliver, model for end-stage liver disease (MELD)vka, MELDliver, Child-Pugh (Child)vka, and Childliverscores were calculated. The coefficient of variance of INRvkawas significantly larger than that of INRliver(P< 0.01). The mean difference in INRvkabetween the thromboplastins was also significantly larger than that in INRliver(P< 0.01). The total mean MELDliverscore was higher than the total mean MELDvkascore. The mean difference between the MELDvkaand MELDliverscores (MELD score ≥15) was 3.2 %. We reconfirmed that the use of the alternative calibration system described herein for patients with liver disease may resolve the variability of INR measurement. Our data suggest that we would need to reevaluate the correlation between Child-Pugh class, MELD score, and clinical prognosis by using INRliverfor patients with LC.
