Hello, My Father's PT INR is 17.1 sec, 1.43 respectively. He is a non drinker, non smoker, never had Hepatitis. He has been taking CIPLAR beta blocker from 5 years, since he was diagnosed with Small varisces. In his LFT, all levels are normal, bilirubin is slightly elevated. Ultrasound of Liver shows nothing serious. Please help me understand the problem.
