Rheumatoid arthritis: It is an autoimmune disease (the body's immune system attacks its tissue) that leads to joint pain and damage. Symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis include pain, inflammation of joints, difficulty moving, and swelling.

Kidney transplant rejection: When you get a new kidney transplanted to your body, your body recognizes it as a foreign element and tries to attack, and reject it because it is not originally part of your body. So, immunosuppressant drugs like Azathioprine are given to such patients to suppress your immune system to attack a newly transplanted kidney. The ultimate goal is to adjust immunosuppressant to prevent rejection and to minimize any side effects of the drugs.
