What's this test for?

This test is ideal if you're being treated for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) with adalimumab and your symptoms haven't fully improved or seem to be coming back. It helps check whether you have enough of the medication in your blood to keep your gut inflammation under control. This is useful if you're dealing with ongoing flares, cramping, diarrhea, or other IBD symptoms despite being on treatment.

What happens after I get my results?

Your adalimumab level will appear in your account along with the reference range so you can see exactly where your number falls. If your level is low, next steps might include reviewing your dosing schedule or timing of injections, and retesting after any changes to see if levels improve. If your number is dangerously low alongside worsening symptoms, seek medical care promptly. You can download the full lab report anytime and use the trends feature to track your levels over multiple tests.

Who should consider this test?

Anyone currently taking adalimumab for IBD who is experiencing a flare-up, incomplete symptom relief, or a loss of response over time should consider this test. It's also useful if you want to confirm you're getting the full benefit from your treatment before assuming the medication isn't working. People early in therapy who want to confirm they've reached a stable, effective level may also benefit.

What symptoms indicate I may need this test?

Signs like returning or worsening abdominal pain, increased diarrhea, blood in your stool, fatigue, or unexplained weight loss while on adalimumab can suggest your drug levels aren't where they need to be. If symptoms that were previously controlled start coming back, that's a common reason to check your level. Persistent inflammation markers noted in other testing can also be a signal to check this.

When will I get my results?

Results are typically ready within about 7 days of your blood draw. You'll receive a notification once they're posted to your secure online account, where you can view and download them at your convenience.

What is adalimumab trough level and why does it matter?

Adalimumab is a biologic medication used to reduce inflammation in IBD, and the 'trough level' means the lowest amount of the drug in your blood right before your next dose. Keeping this level high enough is important because too little medication in your system can allow inflammation to return even if you're taking your doses as prescribed. Testing this level helps confirm whether your current dose and schedule are actually working for you.

What does a low adalimumab level mean?

A low level usually means there isn't enough medication in your body to fully control inflammation, which can lead to returning symptoms. This can happen if you haven't been on the medication long enough to reach a steady level, if your dose or injection schedule needs adjusting, or if your body is clearing the drug faster than expected. Low levels combined with active symptoms are usually a sign that your treatment plan needs a closer look.

What causes low adalimumab levels?

Common causes include not yet being at a steady state early in treatment, a dose that's too low, injections spaced too far apart, or your body clearing the drug unusually fast. Faster clearance can happen if your immune system has developed antibodies against the medication, or from other conditions like kidney disease that cause your body to lose proteins, including medications like adalimumab, more quickly.

How often should I retest my adalimumab level?

Retesting is often useful after any change in your dose or injection schedule, typically once you've had time to reach a new steady state, which is usually after a few doses. If your symptoms are well controlled and your levels were previously in a good range, retesting every few months or whenever symptoms change can help you stay ahead of any dips in effectiveness.

What should I do if my results show a low level?

If your level comes back low, consider reviewing your injection timing and consistency to make sure doses aren't being missed or delayed. Testing for adalimumab antibodies can help clarify whether your body is breaking down the drug faster than normal. If your symptoms are severe or worsening, don't wait — seek medical care right away rather than adjusting treatment on your own.
