yes, they are same. This test id used for checking the blood viscosity. It should be in the range of 1.00 to 2.00. If its value is > 1.5 then this means your blood is very thin and you should consult your doctor. If it is < 1.5 then this means your blood is very thick and there are more chances for blood clotting and you should consult your doctor.

What effect does acetaminophen have on your inr?

Acetaminophen can increase the results of your INR, meaning your blood would be thinner. You should consult with your physician regarding Tylenol usage as the frequency of testing your PT/INR may need to be increased. However, Tylenol generally has a limited effect on INR's. Consuming the maximum dosage of 4g (4000mg) generally effects the INR very little.
