Physicians with difficult patient scenarios regularly bring their questions to the AGA Community to seek advice from colleagues about therapy and disease management options, best practices, and diagnoses. Here’s a preview of a recent popular clinical discussion:
Junaid Beig, MBBS, FRACP wrote the following in “Subtherapeutic Azathioprine metabolites despite being adherent to medication”:
“I have an Ulcerative patient (Pancolitis) on Mesalazine and Azathioprine 150mg since 2018. His levels are subtherapeutic (6TGN 159 and 6MMP 70) despite being adherent to medication. He drinks 2 liters of wine per week.
“Questions: Is there any way we can find if he has high TPMT activity (Level is normal 6.1)? Does alcohol have an impact on TPMT activity? Does he warrant alternative treatment?”
