Part Descriptions
LP15173-5 Mercaptopurine
6-Mercaptopurine (6-MP) is used in treatment of inflammatory bowel disease. The effects of 6-mercaptopurine (6-MP) are mediated via its intracellular conversion (RBC) to 6-thioguanine (6-TG) and 6-methylmercaptopurine (6-MMP) nucleotide metabolites, the latter genetically controlled by thipurine methyltransferase (TPMT). This assay measures level of 6-MMP which has been shown to correlate with therapeutic response and potential toxicities.

- Change Reason
- The Property has been changed from ACnc to reflect the new model for ordinal terms where results are based on a cut-off value.; The PrThr property is used for LOINC terms whose results are reported using an ordered categorical scale, regardless of whether or not an internal threshold was used to make that determination. This change was approved by the Laboratory LOINC Committee in June 2016.
