| Usage: |
Measurement of TPMT activity is encouraged prior to commencing the treatment of patients with Thiopurine drugs such as Azathioprine, 6-Mercaptopurine, and 6-Thioguanine. Patients with low or absent activity are at a heightened risk of drug-induced bone marrow toxicity due to accumulation of the unmetabolized drug. |
