Hi amazing14

Absolutely!
I have done considerable research on Enbrel, a TNF inhibitor   and yes there are blood tests which will detect its presence in the blood, however, not available to the patient, unless there are specific medical reasons for this.
Normally these tests are only for research purposes, but not simply to detect the presence of Enbrel in the blood stream, as it would be obvious, being administered mainly by injection.
May I ask why you need to know this?

Take care.
Niko

Um, well, you can likely tell you by looking at your blood counts. I have no idea if there is a drug test for this drug. Its not a controlled so not quite sure if anyone has adeveloped a way to look for it.
