azathioprine and Aseptic Necrosis of Femur Head

azathioprine has been researched along with Aseptic Necrosis of Femur Head in 16 studies

Azathioprine: An immunosuppressive agent used in combination with cyclophosphamide and hydroxychloroquine in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. According to the Fourth Annual Report on Carcinogens (NTP 85-002, 1985), this substance has been listed as a known carcinogen. (Merck Index, 11th ed)
azathioprine : A thiopurine that is 6-mercaptopurine in which the mercapto hydrogen is replaced by a 1-methyl-4-nitroimidazol-5-yl group. It is a prodrug for mercaptopurine and is used as an immunosuppressant, prescribed for the treatment of inflammatory conditions and after organ transplantation and also for treatment of Crohn's didease and MS.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
" We successfully treated a patient with pemphigus vulgaris with IVIG, after he had developed osteonecrosis of his right femoral head while on azathioprine and corticosteroids."3.72[Treatment of pemphigus vulgaris with high-dose intravenous immunoglobulins in a patient with steroid-induced osteonecrosis of the femoral head]. ( Enk, A; Giesecke, E; Kerstin, S, 2004)
" In a comparison of these children with SLE, with and without AN, with a group of patients with nephrosis treated with corticosteroids and a group with glomerulonephritis treated with azathioprine, AN was related to the duration of daily steroid therapy rather than the total duration of steroid treatment; this was not true for azathioprine."3.65A vascular necrosis of the femoral head in childhood systemic lupus erythematosus. ( Drummond, KN; Hurley, RM; Patriquin, H; Steinberg, RH, 1974)
"Azathioprine was discontinued due to hematological toxicity and failure to control SLE."1.42First report of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis in a systemic lupus erythematosus patient. ( Dierberg, KL; Dorjee, K; Reingold, AL; Sadutshang, TD, 2015)
"Among the rare cases of Sweet syndrome associated to a systemic inflammatory response syndrome that have been described there have not been any fatal cases as occurred with our patient."1.34[Fatal Sweet syndrome associated to chronic idiopathic systemic inflammatory response syndrome].
