TPMT ACTIVITY1
FAQ
What does the TPMT activity test result mean?
If an individual has no observable TPMT activity, then they are at risk of acquiring extreme side effects from thiopurine drugs. In such cases, the doctor will find an alternative to the drug. A low TPMT activity is yet consistent with thiopurine drug therapy, but a lower dose is indicated. If a patient has normal levels of TPMT activity, then the patient can be prescribed a normal dose of a thiopurine drug.
What does TPMT normally do in the body?
There is no exact answer to this. The core interest in TPMT activity test is purely to examine patients who are about to get thiopurine drugs as this enzyme breaks down these medications into passive metabolites.
