Overview

Everolimus by LCMS (Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry) is a laboratory test used to measure the levels of Everolimus, an immunosuppressive drug, in the blood. Everolimus is commonly used in transplantation and certain cancer treatments. Clinical utility of this test lies in therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of Everolimus, which is crucial for optimizing drug dosing and minimizing drug toxicity. By monitoring Everolimus levels in the blood, healthcare professionals can ensure that the drug is within the therapeutic range, balancing its effectiveness in suppressing the immune system or treating cancer while avoiding potential adverse effects. Regular TDM of Everolimus allows for individualized dosing adjustments, helping to achieve optimal treatment outcomes and maintaining the balance between therapeutic benefits and potential risks associated with the drug.
