Advances in Chromatographic Techniques for Therapeutic Drug Monitoring


Add your own review!

Overview

For drugs with a narrow therapeutic index, therapeutic drug monitoring methods are essential for patient management. Although immunoassays are commercially available for many drugs and most laboratories use these assays for routine therapeutic monitoring, they have many limitations which hinder their efficacy. Providing practical guidelines for implementing preferred gas and liquid chromatographic methods, Advances in Chromatographic Techniques for Therapeutic Drug Monitoring is a comprehensive reference describing the theory and application of therapeutic drug monitoring in clinical laboratories. Edited by a distinguished authority in the field and containing contributions from a variety of experts, the book discusses preanalytical variables, the pitfalls of immunoassays, tandem mass spectrometry, issues related to pain management and herbal supplements, and therapeutic drug monitoring for a range of medications, including: Anticonvulsants Digitalis Cardioactive drugs Antidepressants Immunosuppressants Anti-cancer drugs Vancomycin and aminoglycosides Antibiotics Antiretroviral drugs Nonnarcotic analgesics Anti-inflammatory drugs Examing older and newer drugs, the book contains detailed discussions on the rationale for therapeutic drug monitoring of each class of drugs, along with their basic pharmacology and toxicology. An extensive list of references is provided at the end of each chapter so that those interested in implementing a new drug assay can find the most appropriate method for the intended drug.

Reviews

...This excellent book reviews not only those drugs for which chromatographic techniques have long been used, but also drugs for which therapeutic monitoring is newer (e.g., antiretroviral agents, immunosuppressive drugs, antineoplastic compounds, antidepressant drugs, analgesics, cardioactive drugs, and antibiotics). ... Edited by a distinguished authority on therapeutic drug monitoring, this book should serve as both an invaluable reference for analytical toxicologists and a practical guide for laboratory physicians and scientists who are involved in the monitoring of therapeutic agents.-From the Foreword, David N. Bailey, Vice Chancellor for Health Affairs, Dean of the School of Medicine, and Professor of Pathology & Laboratory Medicine, University of California, Irvine, USA ... a valuable reference for experienced clinical laboratory professionals, as well as an opportunity to inform a new generation of scientists and clinicians of the future potential and growing importance of clinical TDM.-Michael Hodsdon in Future Science, May 2010, vol. 2, no. 5
