Background/Aim. Tacrolimus concentration-dose ratio as a potential therapeutic drug monitoring strategy was suggested to be used for the patients subjected to renal transplantation. The aim of this study was examining the relationship between tacrolimus concentration-dose ratio, suggested to be used as a therapeutic drug monitoring strategy and the polymorphisms of genes encoding the most important enzymes, such as CYP3A5 and CYP3A4, as well as the transporter P-glycoprotein, for its metabolism and elimination. Methods. The study was designed as a prospective case series study, in which the unit of monitoring was the outpatient examination of 54 patients subjected to renal transplantation. Genotyping was performed by 7500 Real- Time PCR System by assessing allelic discrimination based on TaqMan? methodology. Results. Patients (n = 13) who were treated with less than 2 mg of tacrolimus/day (0.024 ? 0.006 mg/kg/day) had the tacrolimus concentration-dose ratio larger than 150 ng/mL/mg/kg. In this group, 84.62% patients had CYP3?5 *3*3 allele. All of these patients had CYP3?4 *1*1/*1*1B allele. Regarding ABCB1 C3435T gene, 30.77% of patients had the TT gene variant, while 69.23% of our patients had CC and CT gene variants. Conclusion. Tacrolimus concentration-dose ratio greater than 150 ng/mL/mg/kg is cut-off value in patients subjected to renal transplantation which might point to patients who are poor CYP3A5 metabolizers and/or with dysfunctional P-glycoprotein.

Abstract To study the appropriateness of phlebotomy for digoxin therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) in outpatients, we conducted a retrospective chart review, a computer search of all previous TDM testing, and a questionnaire of all outpatients (n = 86) who had serum digoxin determinations between April 10 and April 28, 1992 (585 tests). In patients who took digoxin at the same time daily (40 patients, 300 tests), 52% of tests were performed on inappropriate samples drawn within 6 h of the last dose. No patient who took digoxin after 1700 had inappropriate tests. Phlebotomy for serum digoxin determinations before distribution of digoxin is complete is a common problem in outpatients, leading to clinically uninterpretable test results. Postdistribution sampling can be assured by nighttime dosing, and this recommendation has been implemented at our hospital.

Zusammenfassung. Die Diagnose und auch die Überwachung von chronisch entzündlichen Darmerkrankungen ruht auf mehreren Säulen: Anamnese, körperliche Untersuchung, Laborwerte (im Blut und Stuhl), Endoskopie, Histologie und Bildgebung. Die Diagnose kann nicht anhand eines einzelnen Befundes gestellt werden. In den letzten Jahren hat sich das Therapieziel weg von klinischen Endpunkten hin zu endoskopischen und sogar histologischen Endpunkten entwickelt. Für einige dieser neuen Therapieziele existiert allerdings noch keine allgemein gültige Definition. Regelmässige Endoskopien werden von Patienten schlecht toleriert, weshalb Surrogat-Marker wie Calprotectin untersucht wurden und eine gute Korrelation mit der mukosalen Entzündungsaktivität nachgewiesen werden konnte. Entsprechend zeigte sich bei Morbus Crohn eine Algorithmus-basierte Therapiesteuerung – unter anderem basierend auf Calprotectin – einer konventionellen Therapiesteuerung überlegen. Die Überwachung der medikamentösen Therapie («Therapeutic Drug Monitoring» [TDM]) ist ein zweites Standbein des Monitoring von chronisch entzündlichen Darmerkrankungen. Mit zunehmendem Einsatz vor allem der Biologika-Therapien wurden sowohl reaktives TDM (in Patienten mit klinischem Rezidiv) als auch proaktives TDM (in Patienten in Remission / stabiler Erkrankung) untersucht und haben (teilweise) Eingang in aktuelle Richtlinien gefunden. Zukünftige Studien werden die vorgeschlagenen Therapieziele besser definieren und den Nutzen der medikamentösen Therapieüberwachung auf den Krankheitsverlauf weiter untersuchen müssen.
