Therapeutic drug monitoring
Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) measures specific drugs in a patient’s bloodstream over time. This is important for developing long-term individualised care plans, which are critical for patients with chronic inflammatory diseases. The overall aim is for the patient to reach and maintain clinical remission, but the natural course of diseases often presents a number of challenges, and so an adequate response to treatment may not be achieved by all patients. BIOHIT provides a range of TDM assays to determine patient response to various treatments. These tests help to predict the outcome of a given treatment for a given disease, which has the potential to deliver significant clinical and economic benefits.
