Cyclosporine A Trough LCMSMS Blood Test

The Cyclosporine A Trough LCMSMS Blood Test measures the lowest concentration of cyclosporine in the bloodstream before the next dose, providing precise monitoring of immunosuppressive therapy. This test helps evaluate drug absorption, metabolism, and therapeutic levels to prevent organ rejection, minimize toxicity, and support optimal dosing in transplant and autoimmune management.

The Cyclosporine A Trough LCMSMS Blood Test test contains 1 test with 1 biomarker .

Cyclosporine is a commonly used immunosuppressive drug in patients receiving transplants. LC/MS/MS methods have higher specificity for the parent compound than immunoassay. Therapeutic drug monitoring is useful to optimize dose and avoid toxicity. High cyclosporine levels can lead to nephrotoxicity; Low levels can lead to organ rejection following transplant. Peak concentrations are reached at around 3.5 hours after oral dosage. Elimination half-life is 10-27 hours.
