Official Title: Monitoring of Azathioprine Metabolite Concentrations and Cytokine Levels in Neuromyelitis Optica Spectrum Disorder
Brief Summary:
Background: The pathogenesis of NMOSD has been linked to the cytokines interleukins (IL) -6, NOD-, LRR-and pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) and IL-18 that contribute to development of inflammatory reactionsmay.Although azathioprine (AZA) is efficacious in preventing NMOSD recurrence, it may have adverse effects (AEs) maybe related to the plasma concentrations.Objective: We would monitor the blood concentrations of AZA in NMOSD, and their relationship with cytokines, severity, efficacy, and safety range of the…
