Overview
Tacrolimus by LCMS (Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry) is a test used to measure the therapeutic level of tacrolimus drug in the blood. Tacrolimus is an immunosuppressive medication commonly prescribed to prevent organ rejection in transplant recipients. Monitoring the blood levels of tacrolimus is essential to ensure that the drug is within the therapeutic range, balancing its effectiveness in suppressing the immune system while minimizing the risk of toxicity. By analyzing blood samples using LCMS, healthcare professionals can accurately measure the concentration of tacrolimus and adjust the dosage accordingly. This test has clinical utility in assessing the drug's efficacy, optimizing therapeutic outcomes, and preventing potential complications associated with under or overexposure to tacrolimus. Regular monitoring of tacrolimus levels helps healthcare providers tailor the treatment regimen to maintain the desired immunosuppressive effect and promote the long-term success of organ transplantation.

Tacrolimus therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM), Tacrolimus level test
Transplant rejection is a process in which a transplant recipient's immune system treats the new transplanted organ or tissue like a foreign object and attacks it. Tacrolimus is a medication belonging to a class of drugs called immunosuppressants. It works by suppressing the immune system's response to the transplanted organ, reducing the risk of rejection and allowing successful transplantation.
