Journal ArticleDOI

Thiopurine methyltransferase (TPMT) activity and adverse effects of azathioprine in inflammatory bowel disease: long-term follow-up study of 394 patients.

TL;DR: The strategy of determining T PMT activity in all patients prior to initiating treatment with azathioprine could help to minimize the risk of myelotoxicity, as patients with intermediate TPMT activity had fourfold more risk than high TPMt activity patients.
Journal Article

Reviewing the mechanism of action of thiopurine drugs: towards a new paradigm in clinical practice.

TL;DR: The final proposal suggests that the immunosuppressive effects of thiopurine drugs are due to a balanced combination of antimetabolic and pro-apoptotic actions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Thiopurine methyltransferase activity in Spain: a study of 14,545 patients.

TL;DR: It is shown that 0.5% of patients with low TPMT activity are indicated to be at a higher risk of myelotoxicity with azathioprine/6-MP, a figure similar or slightly higher than that reported in other areas.
