Harrington DJ et al. - Patients with advanced cancer are prone to VKD which, while usually subclinical, may develop to a clinically relevant prolongation of the INR. Serum measurements of vitamin K1 and PIVKA-II can be used to detect VKD and monitor vitamin K status before an increased risk of bleeding develops.
