azathioprine has been researched along with Calcinosis in 13 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.

Calcinosis: Pathologic deposition of calcium salts in tissues.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"The overall prognosis for polymyositis and dermatomyositis has improved with the judicious use of corticosteroids, while azathioprine and other cytotoxic agents are of value in improving functional ability and decreasing the total steroid requirement."3.67Management of polymyositis and dermatomyositis. ( Ansell, BM, 1984)
"Lipodystrophy was seen in 10/33 (30."1.33Twelve years experience of juvenile dermatomyositis in North India. ( Bansal, A; Singh, S, 2006)
"The pancreatitis was first manifested by panniculitis of the lower extremities."1.27Childhood systemic lupus erythematosus. Association with pancreatitis, subcutaneous fat necrosis, and calcinosis cutis. ( Gorman, H; Penneys, N; Schachner, L; Simons-Ling, N; Strauss, J; Zillereulo, G, 1983)
"Analysis of the response to corticosteroid therapy in a personal series of 8 consecutive cases of dermatomyositis in childhood shows that there are advantages in a moderate dosage, short-term treatment schedule, with gradual tapering of the dosage as soon as there is clinical improvement without waiting for full remission, and in trying to stop steroid therapy within six months rather than following the more prolonged regimen currently still in vogue."1.26Treatment of dermatomyositis in childhood. ( Dubowitz, V, 1976)
