Severe liver damage can occur after strenuous exercise, particularly in hot conditions. This case highlights heatstroke as a cause of recurrent jaundice and liver necrosis in a young athlete.

Area of Science:

  • Sports Medicine
  • Hepatology
  • Environmental Medicine

Background:

  • Athletes undertaking prolonged physical exertion, especially in high temperatures, are at risk for exertional heat illness.
  • Acute liver injury can manifest with jaundice and requires differential diagnosis to exclude other causes of hepatitis.

Observation:

  • A young patient experienced two episodes of self-limited jaundice following long-distance running.
  • Histological examination revealed zone 3 necrosis, indicative of hypoxic liver injury.

Findings:

  • The patient's liver impairment was attributed to heatstroke, confirmed by excluding other etiologies and correlating clinical presentation with histopathology.
  • This represents the first reported instance of severe, recurrent liver damage specifically linked to heatstroke.

Implications:

  • Recognizing heatstroke as a potential cause of acute liver injury is crucial for athletes and clinicians.
  • Preventive measures against heatstroke during endurance events may mitigate the risk of exertional rhabdomyolysis and subsequent organ damage.
