Therapeutic drug monitoring is based upon the collaboration between a health care provider (clinician, pharmacist, nurse) responsible for making quantitative and qualitative decisions about drug treatment and the clinical laboratory providing analytical services for the measurement of drug concentrations. The information provided by a drug concentration measurement is generally greater than for other substances measured by the laboratory.
This is because, unlike say sodium or glucose, the intake of a drug is quite well known and the processes of distribution and elimination are usually very simple and not under the control of a multitude of homeostatic controlling reflexes.
