azathioprine and Intestinal Obstruction

azathioprine has been researched along with Intestinal Obstruction in 17 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.

Intestinal Obstruction: Any impairment, arrest, or reversal of the normal flow of INTESTINAL CONTENTS toward the ANAL CANAL.

"We describe a case of 36-year-old Japanese man with Crohn's disease, complicated by Bacillus cereus bacteremia on maintenance azathioprine therapy."7.75[Bacillus cereus bacteremia in Crohn's disease with multiple ileal stricture on maintenance azathioprine therapy]. ( Hizawa, K; Iida, M; Matsumoto, T; Nagata, Y; Nakamori, M; Taniguchi, M, 2009)
"We describe a case of 36-year-old Japanese man with Crohn's disease, complicated by Bacillus cereus bacteremia on maintenance azathioprine therapy."3.75[Bacillus cereus bacteremia in Crohn's disease with multiple ileal stricture on maintenance azathioprine therapy]. ( Hizawa, K; Iida, M; Matsumoto, T; Nagata, Y; Nakamori, M; Taniguchi, M, 2009)
"Patients with subocclusive Crohn's disease (CD) who received azathioprine (AZA) therapy had lower re-hospitalization rates due to all causes and for surgical management of CD compared to those treated with mesalazine during a 3-year period."2.79Azathioprine is more effective than mesalazine at preventing recurrent bowel obstruction in patients with ileocecal Crohn's disease. ( Castro, AC; Chebli, JM; Chebli, LA; da Rocha Ribeiro, TC; de Lima Pace, FH; de Oliveira Zanini, KA; de Souza, GS; do Valle Pinheiro, B; Furtado, MC; Gaburri, PD; Machado de Oliveira, J; Pinto, AL; Ribeiro, LC; Vidigal, FM; Zanini, A, 2014)
" Since there was no activity of the mixed connective tissue disease the methylprednisolone dosage was reduced and the administration of azathioprine was ceased."2.39[Chronic recurrent subileus due to Strongyloides stercoralis infection under immunosuppressive therapy]. ( Back, W; Birck, R; Braun, C; Gottstein, T; Gretz, N; Manegold, BC; Rohmeiss, P; Strauch, M, 1996)
"Crohn's disease is a perplexing disease with a high rate of morbidity and complications."2.35The protean manifestations of Crohn's disease. ( Farmer, RG, 1975)
"Recurrent Crohn's disease and that characterized by small bowel obstruction each displayed a characteristic appearance."1.26Radiographic findings of the National Cooperative Crohn's Disease Study. ( Caruthers, SB; Goldberg, HI; Nelson, JA; Singleton, JW, 1979)
