Outcomes in Pediatric Autoimmune Hepatitis and Significance of Azathioprine Metabolites

Conclusions: The vast majority of children with AIH maintain a sustained remission with AZA monotherapy. Biochemical remission was maintained with 6-TGN levels much lower than that recommended for inflammatory bowel disease. These findings suggest that patients should be maintained at the lowest AZA dose possible that is associated with biochemical remission.
