Abstract
We assessed the accuracy of tranexamic acid (TXA) concentrations measured in capillary whole blood using volumetric absorptive micro-sampling (VAMS) devices. Paired venous and VAMS capillary blood samples were collected from 15 healthy volunteers participating in a pharmacokinetic study of alternative routes (oral, IM and IV) of administering TXA. To assess accuracy across a range of concentrations, blood was drawn at different times after TXA administration. We measured TXA concentrations in plasma, whole blood from samples collected by venepuncture and whole blood from venous and capillary samples collected using VAMS devices. TXA was measured using a validated high sensitivity liquid chromatography - mass spectrometry method. We used Bland-Altman plots to describe the agreement between the TXA concentrations obtained with the different methods. In the 42 matched samples, the mean plasma TXA concentration was 14.0 mg/L (range 2.6-36.5 mg/L) whereas the corresponding whole blood TXA concentration was 7.7 mg/L (range 1.6-17.5 mg/L). When comparing TXA concentrations in VAMS samples of venous and capillary whole blood, the average bias was 0.07 mg/L (lower and upper 95% limits of agreement: -2.1 and 2.2 mg/L respectively). When comparing TXA concentrations in venous whole blood and VAMS capillary whole blood, the average bias was 0.7 mg/L (limits of agreement: -2.7 and 4.0 mg/L). Volumetric absorptive micro-sampling devices are sufficiently accurate for use in pharmacokinetic studies of tranexamic acid treatment in the range of plasma concentrations relevant for the assessment of fibrinolysis inhibition.
