An Offline SPE-LC-MS/MS Method for Simultaneous Quantification of Tacrolimus, Cyclosporine A, Kynurenine, Tryptophan, and Creatinine Using Volumetric Absorptive Microsampling Device Mitra
For the first time, we herein describe a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method for the simultaneous quantification of tacrolimus, cyclosporine A, tryptophan, kynurenine, and creatinine on Mitra. Self-collection of samples may facilitate therapeutic monitoring. Simultaneous determination of creatinine may help monitor kidney function, while tryptophan and kynurenine may serve as a biomarker for early detection of transplant rejection.
