Anticoagulation Testing with myOnsite: Convenient Mobile Phlebotomy Services for Effective Blood Thinning Therapy

Anticoagulation management is also important for the treatment of patients having conditions such as atrial fibrillation and those with deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. In order to monitor the effectiveness of blood thinning therapy, regular monitoring is essential — and since myOnsite offers mobile phlebotomy services, this will certainly create an easier rate process. There is no longer a need for clinic visits with on-demand testing at home or work to ensure that your anticoagulant medications are within appropriate levels. It helps you to make the most effective use of your treatment by allowing you to stay within your optimal therapeutic range as well which saves time.

The Importance of Anticoagulation Testing:

Prevents Complications

Testing for anticoagulation helps to strike a fine balance as it makes sure that the clots are prevented but not to an excessive degree where the patient experiences bleeding. The more diluted the blood, the greater the risk of bleeding, and if too thick, blood clots can block vessels and trigger a stroke or heart attack or pulmonary embolism. Mobile phlebotomy services allow you to easily get tested as often as needed, preventing harmful spikes and troughs in the levels of blood clotting that you need to monitor, with quick adjustments made to medications when necessary.

Personalized Monitoring

Anticoagulants have different results in patients. Many variables can impact the way anticoagulants behave in your body (age, weight, dietary factors and other medications). If you need a blood test, myOnsite’s mobile phlebotomy services provide speedy attention to ensure that you have your tests done at home or the office in no time. It enables your healthcare providers to continuously monitor the clotting levels in your blood and tailor your treatment accordingly. Consistent testing allows your doctor to fine-tune medications whether you’re on warfarin or newer drugs called direct oral anticoagulants, such as rivaroxaban, so you get the right treatment with minimal risk for complications.
