If you don't take warfarin for a week, your blood's coagulation factors may increase, leading to a rise in protein levels, particularly prothrombin and other clotting proteins. Warfarin functions as an anticoagulant by inhibiting vitamin K-dependent clotting factors; without it, the liver can produce these proteins without restriction. Additionally, the absence of warfarin may lead to a temporary decrease in the breakdown of these proteins, contributing to their elevated levels in the bloodstream.
