CRP = C-reactive protein.

*

Ratio of clozapine to norclozapine level, value > 2 indicates slow metabolism.

Ratio of clozapine level in ng/mL to clozapine dose in mg; requires a steady state or mean of 5 previous days used, a higher value indicates lower clearance.

Higher value indicates active inflammation or infection.
