Test Overview & Methodology
The Infliximab Trough Level test quantifies the serum concentration of the TNF‑α blocker infliximab immediately before the next scheduled infusion—the critical trough window—to guide dose optimisation and prevent loss of response in inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis and other chronic inflammatory conditions. The assay uses a high‑sensitivity solid‑phase enzyme‑linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) with anti‑idiotype monoclonal capture, performed under ISO 9001:2015 protocols, delivering actionable results within 2–3 weeks from sample receipt by the 7th of the month.

Physician Insight & Safety Protocols
Dr. Ajay Singh, General Practitioner | DHA Registration ID: 36234132
“A single infliximab trough value is a powerful guide but never a standalone decision‑maker. I always interpret your result together with clinical disease activity scores and anti‑drug antibody levels. Please consult your treating gastroenterologist before any dose adjustment—abrupt changes can trigger flare‑ups or immunogenicity. We are here to support that conversation with high‑quality evidence.”
Medication Advisory
Critical Safety Information
Do not discontinue prescribed infliximab or modify your infusion schedule without consulting your treating physician.
Exclusion criteria for home collection: Active febrile infection, recent live vaccination (≤4 weeks). ER Red Flags: If you experience anaphylaxis signs (swelling, breathing difficulty, severe rash) after an infusion, seek emergency care immediately—do not wait for test results.
Exclusion Criteria for Home Phlebotomy
Active febrile infection, recent live vaccination (≤4 weeks), or known allergy to any component of the collection kit. Patients with a history of anaphylactic reactions to infliximab infusions must have blood drawn only under direct medical supervision at an accredited hospital infusion centre.
Patient FAQ & Clinical Guidance
1. What is the ideal sampling time for an infliximab trough test?
The blood sample must be drawn exactly 1–2 hours before your next scheduled infliximab infusion to reflect the lowest drug concentration.
2. How can a low trough level guide my therapy if I feel well?
Even without symptoms, a sub‑therapeutic trough predicts future loss of response; your doctor may intensify dosing or add an immunomodulator to prevent flare.
3. Does the test require any special preparation or fasting?
No fasting is needed, but please inform the phlebotomist of any other biologic injections taken within the last 2 weeks to avoid assay interference.
4. What is the expected turnaround time for my results?
Results are reported within 2–3 weeks from sample receipt. Samples must arrive by the 7th of the month to be included in the monthly batch processing cycle.
5. Can I have blood drawn at home for this test?
Yes, VIP Mobile Phlebotomy & Temperature‑Controlled Cold‑Chain Home Collection is available daily from 8 AM to 11 PM. A certified phlebotomist will visit your home and ensure proper sample handling and transport.
