Everolimus Therapeutic Drug Monitoring: Your Partner in Transplant Success
Living with a transplant brings both hope and responsibility. We understand the constant concern about medication levels and the fear of organ rejection. That’s why our Everolimus monitoring test provides the certainty and peace of mind you deserve. For South African transplant patients in Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, and nationwide, we offer professional, accurate testing that helps protect your precious second chance at life.
Understanding Your Everolimus Test
Everolimus is a vital medication that prevents your body from rejecting your transplanted organ. However, getting the dosage exactly right is crucial – too little could risk rejection, while too much may cause serious side effects. Our therapeutic drug monitoring test measures the concentration of Everolimus in your blood to ensure you’re receiving the optimal dose for your unique needs.
Using advanced LC-MS/MS technology, we provide the most accurate results available, giving you and your healthcare team the confidence to make informed decisions about your treatment.
Who Should Take This Test?
This test is essential for:
- Kidney transplant patients currently taking Everolimus medication
- Patients experiencing unexplained symptoms that might indicate improper drug levels
- Those undergoing dosage adjustments or medication changes
- Patients with changing kidney function or other health conditions
- Anyone wanting peace of mind about their transplant medication effectiveness
If you’re concerned about side effects like mouth sores, fatigue, or swelling, or if you simply want to ensure your transplant remains protected, this test provides the answers you need.
