Abstract: 3.0 during the first days of treatment with vitamin K antagonists is unknown, and it is mainly a result of a more rapid depression of factor VII. 1 This is the single coagulation factor for which many prothrombin-time reagents are most sensitive.Moreover, because of the difference in the responses of thromboplastin reagents to the reduction of vitamin K-dependent coagulation factors, the INR values are more variable and less reliable during the initial phase of treatment than during long-term anticoagulant therapy. 3
