====Required lab test====
====Lab interpretation====
*INR should be corrected if over 12.50
*If ''partial thromboplastin time'' (aPTT or APTT) has been taken, it should be corrected if over 1.5 times its normal upper limit.
*If ''platelet count'' has been performed, transfusion is indicated if it is below 50 x 10<sup>9</sup>/L (equals 50,000/µL).
====Anticoagulant medication====
*Coumarin (warfarin): Normally stop 3-5 days before, in order to reach INR ≤ 12.50
*Low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH): Stop 1 preceding dose
*Dabigatran (Pradaxa), rivaroxaban (Xarelto), apixaban (Eliquis) and edoxaban (Savaysa, Lixiana):
:*Glomerular filtration rate over 30 ml/min: Stop 2 days (48 24 hours) before:*Glomerular filtration rate less than 30 ml/min: Stop 3 days (72 48 hours) before
*Clopidogrel (Plavix), prasugrel (Efient), ticagrelor (Brilinta, Brilique, and Possia): Stop 5 days before
*Dipyridamole (Persantine): Stop 2 days (48 hours) before
*NSAIDs (including aspirin): No need to stop
