What This Test Measures
This test quantifies the level of a particular substance in your bloodstream after it has been administered through a specialized medical insertion route (e.g., a catheter or port). The method used may involve immunoassay or similar techniques to detect and measure the substance’s presence.
Why It Might Be Ordered
Your healthcare provider may order this test if you have a medical device inserted that delivers a substance directly into your bloodstream (e.g., for treatment, monitoring, or diagnostic purposes). It helps track how your body handles this substance over time.
Sample Collection and Preparation
A blood sample is typically collected from a vein or port, often during or after the insertion of the medical device. The sample is processed to separate serum or plasma for testing.
Common Uses and Clinical Context
This test is often used in specialized medical settings, such as intensive care units or oncology, to monitor drug delivery, toxicity, or therapeutic levels of substances administered via specialized routes.
Reference range
NCBI: NSE 0-17 ng/mLN/A
