azathioprine and Basedow Disease

azathioprine has been researched along with Basedow Disease in 29 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
" The aim of the study was to assess the influence of early immunosuppressive treatment of autoimmune thyrotoxicosis with azathioprine on the course of the disease and the incidence of its complications."5.11[Assessment of early immunosuppressive therapy in the prevention of complications of Graves' disease]. ( Gołkowski, F; Huszno, B; Plinta, T; Szybiński, Z; Trofimiuk, M, 2004)
"A short trial with high doses of prednisolone to treat a 62 year-old woman with malignant ophthalmopathy due to Graves disease yielded an unsatisfactory improvement after 5-6 days."3.66[Use of plasmapheresis in a case of Graves' disease with malignant ophthalmopathy (author's transl)]. ( Badjou, R; Ermans, AM; Gaham, N; Glinoer, D; Grivegnee, A; Libert, J; Sand, G, 1981)
"The best systemic treatment of dysthyroid ophthalmopathy remains high dosage Prednisolone."2.37Systemic management of dysthyroid ophthalmopathy. ( Fells, P, 1988)
"Primary systemic sclerosis (PSS) is such a disease characterised by multi-organ fibrosis."1.35Graves' disease associated with primary systemic sclerosis. ( Wimmersberger, Y; Zuercher, D, 2009)
"Azathioprine treatment did not significantly influence these parameters, although it did induce significant decrease in thyroid microsomal antibodies and in thyroid-stimulating hormone binding inhibiting immunoglobulin index."1.28Azathioprine in the treatment of thyroid-associated ophthalmopathy.
