Utility of Maternal 6-Thioguanine Nucleotide Levels in Predicting Neonatal Pancytopenia
An infant with pancytopenia was born to a mother who used the common immunosuppressant azathioprine (AZA). Maternal and neonatal blood levels of 6-thioguanine nucleotides (6TGN; metabolite of AZA) were 1890 and 1480 pmol/8 × 10(8) red blood cells, respectively. Maternal 6TGN levels could be useful in predicting neonatal pancytopenia.
متن کاملMeasurements of 6-thioguanine nucleotide levels with TPMT and NUDT15 genotyping in patients with Crohn’s disease
The association between the 6-thioguanine nucleotide (6-TGN) level and clinical remission in Crohn's disease (CD) remains controversial. Thiopurine-induced leukopenia is a life-threatening complication of CD in Asians that was recently shown to strongly correlate with NUDT15 genetic variants. This study aimed to determine the relationship between thiopurine metabolite levels and therapeutic res...
متن کاملIVIG-Associated Maternal Pancytopenia during Treatment for Neonatal Alloimmune Thrombocytopenia
Background Treatment for neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (NAIT) primarily involves maternal administration of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIG) therapy and prednisone according to protocols based on risk stratification. While IVIG is generally well tolerated, hematologic side effects are a potential complication. Case We present the successful management of a rare complication of materna...
متن کاملMaternal and Neonatal Zinc and Copper Levels and Birth Weight
Introduction Minerals and trace elements such as zinc and copper have significant influence on development and growth of the fetus and newborn. The purpose of this study was to determine the relationship between low birth weight and maternal and neonatal zinc, copper levels. Materials and Methods This case – control study was done from September 2006 to Sep 2007 consisted of 65 infants with b...
متن کاملPharmacology of 6-Thioguanine in Man1
6-Thioguanine (6-TG) was administered to 15 patients with acute leukemia and to 9 with solid tumors in 32 experiments, as part of Phase I testing of 6-TG. 6-TG and metabolites were measured by labeling the 6-TG with radiosulfur. The levels of 6-TG and metabolites were measured in blood and urine after p.o. and i.v. dosage. Incorporation into DNA and RNA of the bone marrow was measured. Blood le...
