Quinidine hepatitis.

S D Handler, N R Hirsch, K Haas

    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Long-term quinidine use can cause liver damage, indicated by elevated liver enzymes and active hepatitis confirmed by biopsy. Stopping the drug reversed these effects, suggesting quinidine hepatotoxicity is reversible.

    Area of Science:

    • Hepatology
    • Clinical Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Quinidine is a medication used to treat cardiac arrhythmias.
    • Drug-induced liver injury is a significant clinical concern.
    • Long-term effects of quinidine on liver function require further investigation.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report a case of quinidine-induced hepatotoxicity.
    • To document liver biopsy findings in quinidine hepatotoxicity.
    • To assess the reversibility of quinidine's hepatic effects.

    Main Methods:

    • A patient with long-term quinidine administration was monitored for liver function.
    • Liver function tests (SGOT, LDH, ALP) were assessed.
    • Liver biopsy was performed.
    • A quinidine challenge dose was administered after initial recovery.

    Main Results:

    • Persistent elevation of serum SGOT, LDH, and ALP was observed during quinidine therapy.
    • Liver biopsy revealed active hepatitis.
    • Discontinuation of quinidine led to normalization of liver function tests.
    • A subsequent quinidine challenge caused recurrent liver enzyme elevation and symptoms.

    Conclusions:

    • The patient experienced quinidine-induced hepatotoxicity.
    • This case provides liver biopsy documentation of quinidine hepatotoxicity.
    • Hepatic toxicity from quinidine appears reversible even after long-term use.
