Clinical Use of Laboratory Determinations for Metals, Anticonvulsive Agents, and Cardiovascular Drugs

摘要: Measurements of trace metals and other metallic substances have proved to be great value clinicians with re-. gard inborn errors metabolism, some deficiency states, toxicological problems. the blood levels anticonvulsive medications selected cardiovascular drugs also useful in adjusting dosage attain therapeutic response desired without toxicity. The clinican must understand limitations each tests at his disposal (1). While most techniques present measure total concentration a drug serum, there may not uniform correlation between active component serum tissues. Individual genetic factors cause variation effect level. Drug vary depending on time administration last dose. Interfering invalidate results obtained, concomitant interfere relationship level obtained. One values determinations is test for compliance part patient. Similar considered regard metals.
