Our son's last Prometheus test showed a Serum Infliximab level Concentration of 32 and 0 antibodies. This test was preformed 4 weeks into a 8 week cycle. As a result of this high level, and confirmed remission, his doctor suggests extending cycle from 8 weeks to 10 weeks. He is on the lowest dosage already, so they do not want to reduce the dosage, just increase the duration of the cycle.
Does anyone have any experience with this? We were told that the level of 32 is significantly higher than the level they typically see in pediatric patients. We are happy and grateful that our son is doing fantastic, but worried about causing a flare up on one hand, and on the other, worried about the high level of Remicade in his system!
Any advice?
