Please use drug levels as a guide. Infliximab Interpretation: Therapeutic drug levels: >2 µg/mL Intermediate drug levels: 1.0 – 2.0 µg/mL Subtherapeutic drug levels: < 1.0 µg/mL Test interpretation requires full clinical information: drug dosage/frequency, previous exposure to other biologics, time of sampling, duration of therapy and clinical assessment.

Female range - post menopausal 0 - 3.6 pg/mL.

Values in the premenopausal female vary with the stage of cycle 5 - 160 pg/mL.

Male range - 0 - 3.6 pg/mL.

Reference ranges established by manufacturer and validated in-house.

Inhibin B reference ranges

Adult male:25-325 ng/L
Adult female:<341 ng/L
Post-menopause:<5 ng/L

Values in premenopausal women vary with the stage of cycle, with maximal values beting seen five to ten days after the LH surge.

HRT will artificially stimulate inhibin B production in the menopause.
