Q

Why do you check a TMPT on a patient you are about to start on Imuran?

A

Before you start someone on Imuran (Azathioprine), you should check a TMPT level because if they have a hereditary deficiency in the enzyme then the drug will be metabolized down the HPRT pathway which gives the person bone marrow suppression= bad
