Adalimumab
Measured alone or as part of a profile including anti-Adalimumab antibodies.
Adalimumab levels of greater than 6µg/mL are considered adequate.
Test interpretation requires full clinical information: drug dosage/frequency, previous exposure to other biologics, time of sampling, duration of therapy and clinical assessment.
Collect blood into a serum separation (SST™) or plain tube, preferably shortly before drug administration (trough levels). Centrifuge sample at 3000 rpm for 10 minutes, aliquot serum or plasma and keep in fridge until transport. If transport is going to be delayed by > 5 days, freeze at -20°C and send by first class post at a later date.
