"Low sirolimus" generally means that the sirolimus level in your blood is too low to be within therapeutic levels. This means that your dosage of sirolimus will probably be increased, so that your blood concentration of sirolimus falls within therapeutic levels.

Low sirolimus refers to a reduced concentration or dose of the medication sirolimus, which is an immunosuppressant drug used to prevent organ rejection in transplant patients. Adjusting the dose of sirolimus may be necessary based on individual patient factors such as kidney function or side effects. It is important for patients to follow their healthcare provider's guidance on dosing to achieve the right balance of efficacy and safety.
