azathioprine and Gouty Arthritis

azathioprine has been researched along with Gouty Arthritis in 4 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
"To evaluate the frequency and the pathogenesis of hyperuricemia and gout during cyclosporine therapy, we studied renal-transplant recipients who were treated with either cyclosporine and prednisone (n = 129) or azathioprine and prednisone (n = 168)."3.67Cyclosporine-induced hyperuricemia and gout. ( Fox, IH; Lin, HY; McQuillan, MA; Palella, TD; Rocher, LL; Schmaltz, S, 1989)
" To prevent severe bone marrow depletion, the dosage of azathioprine, an immunosupressant drug, was reduced by 50% to prevent interaction with allopurinol."1.36Gout in pediatric renal transplant recipients. ( Goetschel, P; Laube, GF; Trück, J; von Vigier, RO, 2010)
