Executive Summary & Core Metrics
New – Price Reduced: The Immunosuppressant Drug Profile 2 Test is available for 1,500 AED. Same‑day turnaround when sample reaches the lab by 5 PM. This LC‑MS/MS panel quantifies tacrolimus, cyclosporine, sirolimus, and everolimus exact trough concentrations for transplant patients. VIP Mobile Phlebotomy & Temperature‑Controlled Cold‑Chain Home Collection available daily from 8 AM to 11 PM. Direct insurance verification via WhatsApp +971 54 548 8731. Complimentary telephonic post‑test clinical guidance included.
Test Overview & Methodology
The Immunosuppressant Drug Profile 2 Test provides precise trough blood concentrations for four key immunosuppressive agents using gold‑standard liquid chromatography‑tandem mass spectrometry (LC‑MS/MS). This method offers ultra‑high specificity, quantifying the parent drug without cross‑reactivity from metabolites. The panel safeguards transplant patients by preventing both under‑immunosuppression (graft rejection) and over‑immunosuppression (drug toxicity, infection risk). Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is the cornerstone of transplant pharmacotherapy, and this test delivers the high‑resolution data clinicians need for dose individualization.
| Feature | Our Test (LC‑MS/MS) | Closest Alternative (Immunoassay) |
|---|---|---|
| Analytical Precision | Ultra‑high specificity; quantifies parent drug without cross‑reactivity | Potential cross‑reaction with metabolites; variable accuracy |
| Methodology | Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC‑MS/MS) | Enzyme‑multiplied immunoassay technique (EMIT) or CMIA |
| Turnaround Time | Same‑day report (sample by 5 PM) | Often 24–48 hours |
Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
"Therapeutic drug monitoring via LC‑MS/MS provides the pharmacokinetic precision transplant patients require. This profile captures trough values with minimal interference, allowing clinicians to differentiate subtherapeutic from toxic levels and adjust dosing accordingly. Always correlate results with the patient's clinical status, graft function, and concomitant medications. Results should be interpreted exclusively by the managing transplant team."

Medication Safety Advisory
Do not discontinue, change, or skip doses of prescribed immunosuppressants without consulting your doctor. Altered dosing based solely on this panel can lead to organ rejection or severe adverse effects. Always review results with your treating physician.
Exclusion Criteria & Urgent Red Flags
- Sample rejection: Hemolyzed, clotted, or insufficient volume specimens; sample not drawn at trough (unless otherwise documented).
- Urgent symptoms – seek emergency care: New‑onset severe tremor, confusion, decreased urine output, high fever, or any signs of infection in an immunosuppressed patient.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the correct timing for collecting my blood sample for this test?
The trough level just before your next scheduled dose is the most clinically relevant indicator of immunosuppressive exposure. For optimal accuracy, draw blood within 30–60 minutes before the next dose, after overnight fasting if practical, and always record the exact dosing and sampling times.
2. How quickly will I receive my results, and who will interpret them?
We deliver same‑day electronic reports when the sample reaches the lab by 5 PM, along with a complimentary telephonic clinical guidance session. A DHA‑licensed physician will explain the TDM values, but final dosage adjustments must be made by your treating transplant specialist.
3. Is this test covered by insurance, and how does home collection work?
The 1,500 AED panel is directly billable to most UAE insurers through our WhatsApp verification service (+971 54 548 8731), followed by ISO‑certified cold‑chain home collection between 8 AM and 11 PM. Our trained mobile phlebotomists ensure correct trough‑timed sampling and safe transport under refrigerated conditions.
4. What medications does this profile measure?
This test quantifies trough concentrations of tacrolimus, cyclosporine, sirolimus, and everolimus. These are the most common calcineurin inhibitors and mTOR inhibitors used in solid‑organ transplant maintenance regimens.
5. Why is LC‑MS/MS preferred over immunoassay for TDM?
LC‑MS/MS provides superior analytical specificity by directly measuring the parent drug molecule without cross‑reactivity from metabolites or endogenous substances. This eliminates the variable accuracy seen with immunoassay techniques and ensures reliable results for dose adjustments.
