azathioprine and Hypotension

azathioprine has been researched along with Hypotension in 6 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.

Hypotension: Abnormally low BLOOD PRESSURE that can result in inadequate blood flow to the brain and other vital organs. Common symptom is DIZZINESS but greater negative impacts on the body occur when there is prolonged depravation of oxygen and nutrients.

" Fourteen patients given this material by intramuscular injection after cadaveric renal transplants, in addition to azathioprine and prednisone, had less evidence of rejection compared with patients previously treated with azathioprine and prednisone only, despite a reduction of the mean daily prednisone dose from 65 to 45 mg."3.65Use of antilymphocyte globulin after cadaveric renal transplantation.
