azathioprine has been researched along with Demyelinating Diseases in 21 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.
Demyelinating Diseases: Diseases characterized by loss or dysfunction of myelin in the central or peripheral nervous system.

The Harvey-Bradshaw Index of Crohn's Disease Acitivity was evaluated at each study visit. The Harvey-Bradshaw Index evaluates participants' general health in the day prior in the domains of well being, abdominal pain, number of liquid stools per day, and abdominal mass and complications and was evaluated on the day of the study visit. The score is derived from a 0-4 score for general well being, 0-3 for abdmonial pain, raw score for number of liquid stools per day, 0-3 for abdominal mass, and raw score for complications. The total score is from 0 to infinity, with lower scores indicating better outcomes. (NCT00705614)
