Hepatotoxicity associated with ticrynafen--a uricosuric diuretic
Abstract:
Herein, we describe a patient who had ticrynafen-associated acute hepatitis. This complication has been reported in 57 patients (52 to the manufacturer, four to the Food and Drug Administration, and the current patient) in this country. The mechanism of hepatocellular injury is not known, but from the data to date it seems most likely to result from a hypersensitivity reaction rather than a direct hepatotoxic effect. The histopathological findings are difficult to differentiate from acute viral hepatitis. Removal of this drug from the market resulted from the prompt action of physicians in reporting the complications to the manufacturer and the rapid response of the pharmaceutical firm once the risks became known.
