Title Liver Tests Best to Gauge IBD Medication Hepatotoxicity
Url http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/565993?src=rss
Description The hepatotoxicity of 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP) and azathioprine treatment, seen in a minority of patients with irritable bowel disease (IBD), is most effectively monitored by means of liver tests rather than serum levels of the 6-MP metabolite, California-based researchers report in the November issue of the American Journal of Gastroenterology.
