Prognosis of lymphoma in patients following treatment with 6‐mercaptopurine/azathioprine for inflammatory bowel disease
Conclusions:We found no differences of survival with lymphoma between IBD patients and expected survival for the general population. Also, the prognosis for those IBD patients treated with 6‐MP/AZA was not worse than lymphoma patients not treated with 6‐MP/AZA. Statistical analysis, however, was limited by the small sample size and heterogeneity of the patients studied. (Inflamm Bowel Dis 2012;) (Source: Inflammatory Bowel Diseases)

Renal transplantation in lupus nephritis: a Brazilian cohort.
Conclusion: LN is the major cause of morbidity in SLE, with progression to ESRD in 10-22% of cases. Despite concerns about LN recurrence after renal transplantation, the data obtained in our sample indicate this procedure as a safe alternative therapy for ESRD in this population.
