Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) uses blood drug concentrations to guide therapy. It identifies patient-specific issues like drug interactions and genetic variations for optimized treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Clinical Pharmacology
  • Laboratory Medicine

Context:

  • Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is crucial for optimizing drug efficacy and safety in clinical practice.
  • Accurate interpretation of drug concentrations requires established therapeutic and dose-related reference ranges.

Purpose:

  • To outline the principles and applications of evidence-based therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM).
  • To highlight how TDM identifies individual patient abnormalities affecting drug response.

Summary:

  • TDM involves measuring drug concentrations in patient blood and interpreting them against established reference ranges.
  • This process detects abnormalities including drug-drug interactions, genetic polymorphisms (metabolizer status), organ dysfunction (liver/kidney), compliance issues, and analytical interferences.
  • Laboratory results are returned to physicians with clinical pharmacological comments to aid treatment decisions.

Impact:

  • Enhances patient safety by enabling early detection of adverse drug events.
  • Improves therapeutic outcomes through personalized drug dosage adjustments.
  • Supports clinical decision-making by providing actionable pharmacological insights.
