Utility of Measuring 6-Methylmercaptopurine and 6-Thioguanine Nucleotide Levels in Managing Inflammatory Bowel Disease Patients Treated With 6-Mercaptopurine in a Clinical Practice Setting

Abstract

Measuring levels of 6-MP metabolites may have a role in customizing 6-MP dosing. This role is not completely clear and needs to be explored in larger well-controlled studies.
