Clinical Information

Discusses physiology, pathophysiology, and general clinical aspects, as they relate to a laboratory test
Chlordiazepoxide (Librium) is a benzodiazepine widely used in the treatment of anxiety, alcohol withdrawal symptoms, and as a premedication for anesthesia. The mechanism of action of all benzodiazepines remains unclear. However, it is known that benzodiazepines facilitate gamma-amino butyric acid (GABA)-mediated neurotransmission in the brain. Benzodiazepines most likely facilitate the inhibitory presynaptic or postsynaptic reactions of GABA.
Chlordiazepoxide is metabolized to long-acting metabolites in the liver to the active metabolite nordiazepam (desmethyldiazepam) and the clearance of the drug is reduced considerably in the elderly and in patients with hepatic disease.
Therapeutic assessment should include measurement of both the parent drug (chlordiazepoxide) and the active metabolite (nordiazepam).
Since chlordiazepoxide has a wide therapeutic index and toxicity is dose-dependent, routine drug monitoring is not indicated in all patients.
Reference Values
Describes reference intervals and additional information for interpretation of test results. May include intervals based on age and sex when appropriate. Intervals are Mayo-derived, unless otherwise designated. If an interpretive report is provided, the reference value field will state this.

Therapeutic concentration:
Chlordiazepoxide: 400-3,000 ng/mL
Nordiazepam: 100-500 ng/mL
Interpretation

Describes how the test is performed and provides a method-specific reference
The internal standard mixture containing chlordiazepoxide-d5, diazepam-d4, and nordiazepam-d5 is added to serum samples. The serum samples are treated with phosphate buffer and extracted via liquid/liquid extraction. The organic layer from the extraction is dried under nitrogen, reconstituted, and injected on a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometer (LC-MS/MS).(Unpublished Mayo method)

Day(s) Performed
Outlines the days the test is performed. This field reflects the day that the sample must be in the testing laboratory to begin the testing process and includes any specimen preparation and processing time before the test is performed. Some tests are listed as continuously performed, which means that assays are performed multiple times during the day.
