A lot of things can affect the INR or the effect of the warfarin on patients, including diet, medications, and certain genetic markers that some patients have that make them more or less sensitive to the effects of warfarin. Because there are so many factors, many times it is difficult to pinpoint the exact cause. That is why you need frequent, routine monitoring of the INR for safety and efficacy reasons.
