Background: Circulating concentrations of 6-thioguanine nucleotide (6-TGN) and 6-methyl mercaptopurine (6-MMP) are associated with thiopurine efficacy and may predict toxicity. This study aimed to examine retrospectively the utility of measuring metabolite concentrations in patients with inflammator
