ABSTRACT Hemopexin (Hpx) is an acute phase plasma protein that is responsible for sequestration and removal of cell‐free heme with very high affinity (Kd < 1 pM). Hpx expression in liver cells is induced following an inflammatory event such as severe hemolysis. Therefore, plasma Hpx has potential clinical relevance due to its' ability to bind free heme,

Traditional dosing strategies often rely on a “one‐size‐fits‐all” paradigm, assuming an “average” patient with typical demographic and pharmacological characteristics. In reality, this often overlooks existing between‐patient variability and can lead to suboptimal drug exposure or toxicity. This issue is especially pronounced in pediatric patients, who

Model‐Informed Evaluation of Hydroxyurea Exposure During Lactation
Hydroxyurea is a cornerstone therapy for sickle cell anemia; however, evidence guiding its use during lactation remains limited. This study aimed to develop a population pharmacokinetic (PK) model to characterize hydroxyurea disposition in maternal plasma and breast milk, and to quantify infant exposure under clinically relevant breastfeeding scenarios.
