Free drug monitoring.

Abstract:

:The principles, technique of measurement, and clinical significance of free drugs are reviewed. Albumin, alpha-1-acid glycoprotein, and lipoprotein are the main drug-binding proteins in blood. Variations of the concentrations of these proteins owing to disease would result in changes in the free drug levels. These levels may be determined by equilibrium dialysis, ultrafiltration, and other techniques.

  • Flow Cytometric Assessment of Chronic Myeloid Neoplasms.

    abstract::Flow cytometry immunophenotyping of the hematopoietic cells from the bone marrow can help with diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy of chronic myeloid neoplasms. Unlike with B-cell neoplasms, there is no simple phenotypic test to substitute for clonality. Therefore, antigen panels to evaluate myeloid neoplasms are larger...
