Serum · Fasting not stated · Turnaround 10 - 14 days
Labcorp catalog pageMethod and collection
- Method
- High-pressure liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection (HPLC/UV)
- Preparation
- Trough levels are most reproducible.
- Collection
- Trough levels are most reproducible. Serum or plasma should be separated from cells within two hours of venipuncture. Submit serum or plasma in a plastic transport tube.
- Reference notes
- Azathioprine is measured as the metabolite, 6-mercaptopurine. Therapeutic and toxic ranges have not been established.

We compile this page from named laboratory catalogs, guidelines and studies. Labs calculate reference intervals from the people they test, for one assay method and one population group, so an interval describes that population rather than an optimal target.
