azathioprine and Hemolysis

azathioprine has been researched along with Hemolysis in 18 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.

Hemolysis: The destruction of ERYTHROCYTES by many different causal agents such as antibodies, bacteria, chemicals, temperature, and changes in tonicity.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"To determine adverse events of ribavirin in the treatment of chronic hepatitis C, 41 patients (18 with cirrhosis), treated with ribavirin at an initial dose of 600-1200mg day(-1), were analysed retrospectively (six patients were treated twice because adverse effects during the first treatment necessitated cessation of ribavirin)."7.69Effects of cirrhosis, interferon and azathioprine on adverse events in patients with chronic hepatitis C treated with ribavirin. ( Blot, C; Mathurin, P; Moussalli, J; Opolon, P; Perrin, M; Plassart, F; Poynard, T; Thevenot, T, 1997)
" Chlorambucil may hold advantages over the immunosuppressive drugs normally recommended in this condition, azathioprine and cyclophosphamide, as it appears less liable to cause important marrow suppression and, unlike cyclophosphamide is not associated with alopecia and haemorrhagic cystitis."7.65Treatment of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus including nephritis with chlorambucil. ( Dunnill, MS; Halley, W; Holt, JM; Oliver, DO; Snaith, ML; Stephenson, AC, 1973)
" Previously, multiple courses of glucocorticoids, rituximab, azathioprine, mycophenolate mofetil, cyclophosphamide, bortezomib, and a splenectomy failed to stop or stabilize hemoglobin levels and hemolysis."4.31Abatacept as salvage therapy for life-threatening refractory autoimmune hemolytic anemia: a case report. ( Hoffmann, J; Neubauer, A; Schliesser, G, 2023)
" Prednisone and azathioprine administration improved the liver disease but failed to control hemolysis so that repeated blood transfusions were necessary."3.69[Giant cell hepatitis and autoimmune hemolytic anemia: efficacy of splenectomy on hemolysis].
