The molecular basis of halothane-induced hepatitis.
Halothane hepatitis The anaesthetic agent halothane (CF,CHCIRr) causes two distinct types of liver damage. About 20% of halothane-exposed patients exhibit mild hepatotoxicity, characterized by transient elevations in liver enzymes. In contrast, a much smaller fraction of patients exposed to halothane (between 1 in 3500 and 1 in 35 000) develop severe hepatotoxicity, commonly termed ‘halothane h...
متن کاملAlverine induced toxic hepatitis: a case report.
Drug-induced hepatotoxicity is an important cause of hepatocellular injury. Hepatic necrosis may range from asymptomatic elevations in transaminases to fulminant hepatic failure and death. Alverine is an antispasmodic drug which is especially used in patients with irritable bowel syndrome. Only a few cases of alverine associated hepatotoxicity have been reported previously. We present the case ...
متن کاملAlbendazole-induced granulomatous hepatitis: a case report
INTRODUCTION Drug-related hepatotoxicity is a common medical problem with implications for health systems. It constitutes a cause of acute liver failure and, in many cases, is responsible for the rejection of new pharmacological agents during efficacy and safety studies. Risk factors, as well as pathogenesis of drug-induced liver injury, are poorly understood. The diagnosis of drug-induced live...
متن کاملHalothane and Phaeochromocytoma. a Case Report.
SUMMARY A further instance of the successful removal of a phaeochromocytoma is reported and it is suggested that halothane, despite theoretical contraindications, may be the anaesthetic agent of choice for this procedure. The possible value of (a) prolonged pre-operative preparation with either oral phentolamine or phenoxybenzamine with or without pronethalol, (b) pre-operative blood volume stu...
متن کاملRituximab-Induced Hepatitis C Virus Fulminant Hepatitis (Case Report)
Chronic hepatitis C virus infection is attributed as a cause of circulating mixed cryoglobulinemia and immune mediated extrahepatic complications. Massive pulmonary haemorrhages with chronic hepatitis C has been scarcely reported; and has been associated with renal failure and cryoglobulinemia. The most commonly used treatment modalities include the use of cyclophosphamide, prednisolone, and pl...
