Hebrew term or phrase: נעשתה בדיקת דם ל-אי-אנ-אר סמוי
a document mentions that a patient was given a blood test for INR סמוי (I couldn't get the English characters to line up in the right place above, so that's why they are transliterated). Is this an occult blood test for INR or a test for occult INR or none of the above?

Prothrombin Time and International Normalized Ratio


Explanation:
Most laboratories report Prothrombin Time results that have been adjusted to the International Normalized Ratio (INR) for patients on anti-coagulant drugs. These patients should have an INR of 2.0 to 3.0 for basic “blood-thinning” needs. For some patients who have a high risk of clot formation, the INR needs to be higher - about 2.5 to 3.5.
