  • M2021: Pharmacogenetic Testing
    Pharmacogenetic Testing Policy Number: AHS – M2021 – Pharmacogenetic Prior Policy Name and Number, as applicable: Testing • M2021 – Cytochrome P450 Initial Presentation Date: 06/16/2021 Revision Date: N/A I. Policy Description Pharmacogenetics is defined as the study of variability in drug response due to heredity (Nebert, 1999). Cytochrome (CYP) P450 enzymes are a class of enzymes essential in the synthesis and breakdown metabolism of various molecules and chemicals. Found primarily in the liver, these enzymes are also essential for the metabolism of many medications. CYP P450 are essential to produce many biochemical building blocks, such as cholesterol, fatty acids, and bile acids. Additional cytochrome P450 are involved in the metabolism of drugs, carcinogens, and internal substances, such as toxins formed within cells. Mutations in CYP P450 genes can result in the inability to properly metabolize medications and other substances, leading to increased levels of toxic substances in the body. Approximately 58 CYP genes are in humans (Bains, 2013; Tantisira & Weiss, 2019). Thiopurine methyltransferase (TPMT) is an enzyme that methylates azathioprine, mercaptopurine and thioguanine into active thioguanine nucleotide metabolites. Azathioprine and mercaptopurine are used for treatment of nonmalignant immunologic disorders; mercaptopurine is used for treatment of lymphoid malignancies; and thioguanine is used for treatment of myeloid leukemias (Relling et al., 2011). Dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD), encoded by the gene DPYD, is a rate-limiting enzyme responsible for fluoropyrimidine catabolism. The fluoropyrimidines (5-fluorouracil and capecitabine) are drugs used in the treatment of solid tumors, such as colorectal, breast, and aerodigestive tract tumors (Amstutz et al., 2018). A variety of cell surface proteins, such as antigen-presenting molecules and other proteins, are encoded by the human leukocyte antigen genes (HLAs).

Koshucharova, R. Zweiker, R. Maier, P. Lercher, V. Stepan, W. Klein, K. Stoschitzky Bisoprolol is a beta1-selective beta-adrenergic antagonist while carvedilol is a non-selective beta-blocker with additional blockade of alpha1-adrenoceptors. Administration of bisoprolol has been shown to cause up-regulation of β-adrenoceptor density and to decrease nocturnal melatonin release, whereas carvedilol lacks these typical effects of beta-blocking drugs. The objective of the present study was to investigate beta-blocking effects of bisoprolol and carvedilol in healthy subjects. We compared the effects of single oral doses of clinically recommended amounts of bisoprolol (2.5, 5 and 10 mg) and carvedilol (25, 50 and 100 mg) to those of placebo in a randomised, double-blind, cross-over study in 12 healthy male volun- teers. Three hours after oral administration of the drugs heart rate and blood pressure were measured at rest, after 10 min. of exercise, and after 15 min.

  • Guideline for Preoperative Medication Management
    Guideline: Preoperative Medication Management Guideline for Preoperative Medication Management Purpose of Guideline: To provide guidance to physicians, advanced practice providers (APPs), pharmacists, and nurses regarding medication management in the preoperative setting. Background: Appropriate perioperative medication management is essential to ensure positive surgical outcomes and prevent medication misadventures.1 Results from a prospective analysis of 1,025 patients admitted to a general surgical unit concluded that patients on at least one medication for a chronic disease are 2.7 times more likely to experience surgical complications compared with those not taking any medications. As the aging population requires more medication use and the availability of various nonprescription medications continues to increase, so does the risk of polypharmacy and the need for perioperative medication guidance.2 There are no well-designed trials to support evidence-based recommendations for perioperative medication management; however, general principles and best practice approaches are available. General considerations for perioperative medication management include a thorough medication history, understanding of the medication pharmacokinetics and potential for withdrawal symptoms, understanding the risks associated with the surgical procedure and the risks of medication discontinuation based on the intended indication. Clinical judgement must be exercised, especially if medication pharmacokinetics are not predictable or there are significant risks associated with inappropriate medication withdrawal (eg, tolerance) or continuation (eg, postsurgical infection).2 Clinical Assessment: Prior to instructing the patient on preoperative medication management, completion of a thorough medication history is recommended – including all information on prescription medications, over-the-counter medications, “as needed” medications, vitamins, supplements, and herbal medications. Allergies should also be verified and documented.
