The Methotrexate Level Test or the MTX Test is a medical examination used to measure the concentration of methotrexate in a patient’s blood. Methotrexate is a medication that is commonly prescribed to treat autoimmune diseases and certain types of cancers.
Methotrexate is a drug widely prescribed by healthcare professionals to manage autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis and inflammatory bowel syndrome and is also used to treat certain cancers such as leukemia and lymphoma. However, in order to maintain the maximum effectiveness of the drug, the methotrexate levels in one’s blood need to be within a specific range. Thus, the methotrexate blood test plays a crucial role in optimizing methotrexate therapy and ensuring an effective treatment plan. By providing valuable information about the drug's concentration in the bloodstream, this not only test helps physicians to ensure that patients are receiving the appropriate dose of methotrexate and that level stays within normal range but also to identify any adverse effects associated with the usage.

The Methotrexate Level Test or the MTX Test is a medical examination used to measure the concentration of methotrexate in a patient’s blood.
The methotrexate lab test is majorly prescribed for patients undergoing methotrexate treatment, where regular monitoring of drug levels is essential to assess the treatment plan. Thus, a test is typically ordered anywhere between 24 to 72 hours after the administration of methotrexate. Methotrexate often interacts with other medications which affect its efficiency, and a healthcare professional may prescribe the test in such cases as well. Further, if one has a low platelet count, checking methotrexate levels in one’s bloodstream becomes even more crucial since the drug can cause a decrease in the platelet count of a person. Methotrexate can also lead to certain side effects such as nausea, hair thinning, and loss of appetite, therefore, monitoring the level of methotrexate through a blood test can help identify potential toxicity and mitigate risks. The booking for the MTX test can be done online by logging onto Max Lab’s Website. The price of the MTX test is about INR 2500.
After the collection of the MTX test sample, it can take up to 24 hours for the report to be generated. Once the results of the methotrexate blood test are ready, one can collect them in person or download them from Max Lab’s website. It is best to consult a doctor regarding the results who will interpret the findings and take the appropriate course of action.
