As trough and peak level evaluation is not the appropriate technique 5-fluorouracil drug monitoring should be performed using the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC, area under the curve; this is calculated using the measured concentration in the steady state and the duration of the infusion). AUC = C (mg/l) x infusion time (h) According to Kaldate et al. 2012, AUC should be between 20 and 30 mg x h/l for optimal therapy. Blood sampling should at the earliest be done 6 hours after the start of the infusion and is then possible at any time during the infusion. |
