Objective: Many drugs such as minocycline, nitrofurantoin, halothane, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, anti TNF (Tumor Necrosis Factor) antagonists can induce the autoimmune hepatitis. Herein, we aimed to assess patients suffering from drug induced autoimmune hepatitis who were hospitalized with acute hepatitis like transaminase elevations to our clinic between 2009-2015. Method: The pati...

The study aimed to investigate the protective mechanisms of substance Darmonal and phytin compounds in experimental model acute toxic drug-induced hepatitis caused by paracetamol rats. material methods research was carried out on white outbred rats both sexes weighing 140-200 g. Drug-induced liver damage reproduced introduction into stomach dose 500 mg/kg for 2 days. test Darmonal, Fitin-C refe...

Drug induced liver injury (DILI) is a disease caused by xenobiotics (drugs, herbal or diet products) and diagnosed by exclusion of other causes. Some drugs that cause DILI can also cause drug induced autoimmune hepatitis (DI-AIH) by triggering the immune response against liver proteins (1, 2). A 24-yr old male patient in 2015, was admitted to Turkiye Yuksek Ihtisas Hospital, gastroenterology cl...

The growth of liver tests in the second half pregnancy is most often caused by two reasons - Intrahepatic Cholestasis (ICP) and rarely diagnosed Drug-Induced Liver Injuries (DILI). In Assisted Reproductive Technology (ART)-induced pregnancies that are accompanied powerful drug support, incidence drug-induced cholestasis increases. This due to combined use gestagens other drugs have hepatotoxic ...

Frequency of drug-induced liver diseases is increasingly, more than 200 different drugs being incriminated in hepatic disorders. We performed a retrospective study on 65 cases of deaths due to drug intoxications and an experimental model of subacute hepatitis induced by acetaminophen. In our experimental model, we observed various histological lesions: granular degeneration, vascular congestion...

Albendazole binds to parasite's tubulin inhibiting its glucose absorption. Its common adverse effects are nausea, vomiting, constipation, thirst, dizziness, headache, hair loss and pruritus. Although mainly metabolized in the liver, abnormal liver function tests were a rare adverse effect during clinical trials and we found no literature about albendazole-induced hepatitis requiring admission. ...

Drug-induced hepatotoxicity most commonly manifests as an acute hepatitis syndrome and remains the leading cause of drug-induced death/mortality and the primary reason for withdrawal of drugs from the pharmaceutical market. We report a case of acute liver injury in a 12-year-old Hispanic boy, who received a series of five antibiotics (amoxicillin, ceftriaxone, vancomycin, ampicillin/sulbactam, ...

CONTEXT Acute drug induced hepatitis has not been commonly associated with epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) inhibitors. Hepatotoxicity seen with erlotinib, a small molecule tyrosine kinase inhibitor to EGFR, is usually transient with mild elevation of transaminases. CASE REPORT We report a case of acute severe hepatitis resulting from erlotinib monotherapy in a patient with locally adv...

While aromatase inhibitors (AIs) have been known to cause minor elevations in liver enzymes, severe hepatotoxicity is rare. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of Letrozole-induced hepatitis with autoimmune features. A 70-year-old female with estrogen positive, invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast, presented with jaundice 3 months after starting letrozole. Hepatic t...

The characterisation of lymphocytes from liver biopsies indicates that 'activated' T lymphocytes are present in the liver in alcohol induced hepatitis, chronic active hepatitis (HBS+ve and -ve), and in primary biliary cirrhosis but not in inactive cirrhosis, chronic persistent hepatitis, extrahepatic and drug induced cholestasis. A greater percentage of lymphocytes bear Fc-receptors in chronic ...
