The tools for detecting false positives, false negatives, and
interference in interactions when testing and monitoring
therapeutic drug use For physicians monitoring a patient's
progress, efficacy of treatment is often linked to a patient's
response to medication. Determining whether a patient is taking the
prescribed amount, the drug or dosage is effective, or the
prescribed medication is interacting with other drugs can be
determined through drug testing. Written as a guide for
toxicologists, chemists, and health professionals involved in
patient care, Resolving Erroneous Reports in Toxicology and
Therapeutic Drug Monitoring provides an up-to-date introduction to
the tests and methodologies used in a toxicology lab as well as the
sources of testing error that can lead to false positives, false
negatives, and unreliable conclusions of drug abuse or under use.
Covering a host of common therapeutic drugs as well as specific
types of interference in immunoassays used in drug testing, the
book details a number of possible testing scenarios and problems as
well as solutions: * False positive results in immunoassays for
drugs in abuse testing * Interferences in immunoassays used for
monitoring anticonvulsants, tricyclic antidepressants, and digoxin
* False positive alcohol tests using breath analyzers and automated
analyzers * When a toxicology report is negative in a suspected
overdose patient: the world of designer drugs * Effects of
drug-herb interactions on therapeutic drug monitoring *
Pharmacogenomics and the general principles of genetic analysis *
Approaches for eliminating interference/discordant specimen in
therapeutic drug monitoring and drugs in abuse testing * What to do
in case there is no readily available method for testing Complete
with easy-to-read tables and flowcharts, this book helps
toxicologists, clinical chemists, clinical pathologists, and
forensic pathologists develop accurate, unbiased drug monitoring
and toxicology reports. Health care professionals involved in
patient care, especially of critically ill patients, will find this
guide indispensable in making sure lab tests are reliable enough to
provide high-quality care. An indispensable handbook to the entire
suite of toxicology lab tests, as well as all the possible sources
of testing error, Resolving Erroneous Reports in Toxicology and
Therapeutic Drug Monitoring offers clear remedies for eliminating
and preventing testing error.
