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.

Frequently Asked Questions
Tacrolimus is a immunosuppressant and requires therapeutic drug monitoring because of their narrow therapeutic index and significant inter-individual variability in blood concentrations.
This test is done for calculation of amount of drug tacrolimus in your blood.
Tacrolimus (Prograf) is a macrolide antibiotic derived from the fungus Streptomyces tsukubaenesis. Tacrolimus is metabolized by CYP3A4; thus, its concentration is affected by drugs that inhibit (calcium channel blockers, antifungal agents, some antibiotics, grapefruit juice) or induce (anticonvulsants, rifampin) this enzyme. Tacrolimus has a narrow therapeutic range and adverse effects are common, particularly at high dose and concentrations, making therapeutic drug monitoring essential.
