Lack of Correlation of Mean Corpuscular Volume to White Blood Cell Ratio to Thiopurine Levels
Kandavel et al (1) retrospectively investigated the value of mean corpuscular volume to white blood cell (MCV/WBC) ratio as estimates for 6-TG levels, and further as surrogate marker for thiopurine efficacy in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (PIBD) patients treated with thiopurine in their center.
