Patient Self-collection Device for EDTA Whole-blood Assessment of Tacrolimus Therapeutic Dosage Monitoring

Overview

About this study

The objectives of this study are to compare the measured tacrolimus concentrations in patient self-collected capillary EDTA whole-blood compared to venipuncture obtained EDTA whole-blood, to establish the rate of quantity not sufficient (QNS), clotting, or other pre-enalytical fails using patient self-collected capillary EDTA whole-blood, and to gauge the patient perspective on self-collection versus venipunture for comfort and convenience.
