LAB NOTES:
Transport to testing laboratory at 4 degrees.
Adalimumab Antibodies:
In patients with primary or secondary lack of response to Adalimumab, undetectable Adalimumab trough levels may be due to the presence of anti-adalimumab antibodies. After discussion with Lab Services immunopathologist, Dorevitch Pathology may refer these samples to Sullivan Nicolaides Pathology for anti-Adalimumab antibody levels. Adalimumab antibodies are reported under SAADLA1 test code.
