Lab infrastructure in Bangalore
Bangalore is one of the major medical hubs in the country. Patients from across the globe visit the city to take advantage of its excellent medical infrastructure. There are many hospitals in the city that treat patients who need specific treatments such as organ transplants. It is one of the major cases where an immunosuppressant drug such as Tacrolimus is prescribed. Thus, the city also must provide facilities that perform the tacrolimus test.
Bangalore being a metropolitan city, finding laboratories with the necessary structure to perform a Tacrolimus test is not hard. There are many government hospitals as well as private hospitals and clinics that perform the test. There are facilities to have your sample collected from your home or workplace and receive test results on your email or mobile.

Why Book for the Tacrolimus Test?
- Tacrolimus is an immunosuppressant drug, usually prescribed to patients awaiting organ donation, in order to ensure their body will not reject the new organ. Unfortunately, Tacrolimus in higher quantities can be toxic. The tacrolimus test measures the level of the drug in your blood, and this measurement helps the medical personnel prescribe an optimal dosage to the patient, to prevent accidental tacrolimus poisoning. The test is primarily performed before the doctor puts a patient into pre-organ transplant therapy.

What does Tacrolimus Test Measure?
- A Tacrolimus test measures the amount of tacrolimus drug in a person's blood. Tacrolimus is an immunosuppressant. If the Tacrolimus levels are too low, the body might reject a new organ. If it is too high, it can be toxic. Thus, the dosage must be individually tailored.
- After administering a dose, the level of tacrolimus in a person's blood peaks after 2 or 3 hours. A test is performed during that window to determine the higher value. Similarly, another test is performed 12 hours later to determine the lowest concentration. Taking these results into account, an ideal dosage is prescribed to the patient.
What Preparation is Needed for the Tacrolimus Test?
- No special preparation is required for a Tacrolimus test. A person need not fast or follow any such instructions. They are only required to follow the doctor's advice regarding any medicines already prescribed.
- As the test aims to measure the levels of tacrolimus in an individual's blood for everyday drug usage, the idea is to take measurements not under ideal circumstances, but while the patient follows a routine similar to what they will follow in their day-to-day life while using Tacrolimus.

What do Abnormal Results Indicate?
The normal range for Tacrolimus in one's blood is 5.0-15.0 ng/mL. Levels less than equal to 3.5 ng/mL can lead to acute rejection of organ and creatinine doubling. Similarly, levels higher than 15 ng/mL can be a sign of infection, liver dysfunction, etc. Along with the test results, any unfavourable change in the health of the patient is a cause for further inspection. Tacrolimus toxicity may cause headache, high blood pressure, nausea, vomiting, increased heart rate, blurred vision, etc.
