Tolazamide-induced hepatic dysfunction.

T A LoIudice, J A Lang

    The American Journal of Gastroenterology
    |January 1, 1978
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Tolazamide can cause liver injury, confirmed by abnormal liver tests and biopsy showing inflammation and fibrosis. This case highlights a new type of sulfonylurea-related hepatic damage.

    Area of Science:

    • Hepatology
    • Pharmacology
    • Toxicology

    Background:

    • Sulfonylureas are commonly prescribed oral hypoglycemic agents.
    • Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a significant concern in pharmacotherapy.
    • Previous reports have linked some sulfonylureas to hepatic dysfunction.

    Observation:

    • A patient developed liver injury during treatment with tolazamide.
    • Clinical presentation included elevated liver enzymes: alkaline phosphatase, 5' nucleotidase, and serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase.
    • Liver biopsy revealed severe portal inflammation, bile duct proliferation, and early fibrosis.

    Findings:

    • The observed liver injury pattern is consistent with tolazamide toxicity.
    • Histopathological findings suggest a distinct form of drug-induced hepatic damage.

  • This case contributes to the understanding of sulfonylurea-associated hepatotoxicity.
  • Implications:

    • Tolazamide should be considered a potential cause of drug-induced liver injury.
    • Further investigation into the mechanisms of sulfonylurea hepatotoxicity is warranted.
    • Clinicians should monitor liver function in patients treated with tolazamide and other sulfonylureas.
