SIMPTOM TOKSIK
SIMTOM YANG SERING MUNCUL PADA KONDISI DILI
Diagnose of
DILI
Clinical-pathological manifestations
● Clinical presentation
● Patterns of DILI
● Specific phenotypes
○ Drug-induced autoimmune hepatitis.
○ Liver injury associated with immunotherapy for cancer.
○ Secondary sclerosing cholangitis.
○ Granulomatous hepatitis
○ Acute fatty liver.
○ Drug-associated fatty liver disease.
○ Nodular regenerative hyperplasia and sinusoidal obstruction syndrome
○ Liver tumours.
Laboratory test
● Aminotransferases
● Laboratory workup for excluding alternative causes
Imaging
● As DILI is a diagnosis of exclusion, some form of liver imaging is usually undertaken in
the diagnostic workup of a patient with suspected DILI.
● Liver imaging in DILI is typically normal.
● All patients with suspected DILI should at least undergo an abdominal ultrasound to
exclude focal changes in the liver and biliary obstruction.
Liver Biopsy
● Liver biopsy is an integral part of the specific investigations performed by clinicians to establish the
diagnosis of parenchymal liver disease; it has a limited role when the condition presents with typical
manifestations and the non-invasive tests are considered diagnostic.
● However, shares clinical features with other parenchymal liver diseases and lacks definitive tests and
hence, liver histology can provide complementary information and assist in the process of securing an
accurate diagnosis.
Causality assessment methods and scales
● Council for International Organizations of medical Sciences (CIOMS) scale
○ This causality assessment method, also called RUCAM (after the host pharmaceutical Roussel-Uclaf) includes weighted scoring
of an event according to 7 distinct domains related to the temporal relationship between exposure to a particular drug and the
liver injury (both its onset and course), exclusion of alternative non-drug-related aetiologies, exposure to other medications that
could explain DILI, risk factors for the adverse hepatic reaction, evidence in the literature regarding DILI from the drug in question
and response to re-exposure to the medication. The total score derived (ranging from -9 to +10) from the domain specific
assessment classifies the event as highly probable (>8), probable (6–8), possible (3–5), unlikely (1–2) or excluded (≤0) according
to its likelihood to be DILI.
● Clinical diagnostic scale (CDS)
○ Causality is graded according to the final score as definite drug-induced hepatotoxicity (score >17), probable (score 14–17),
possible (score 10–13), unlikely (score 6–9) and excluded (score <6).
● Structured expert opinion process
○ Following the assessment, the likelihood of an event being DILI was described using both a percentage figure and a descriptive
legal terminology as definite (>95% likelihood), highly likely (75–95%), probable (50–74%), possible (25–49%), or unlikely (<25%).

Rechallenge and recurrent DILI
● Once DILI subsides the individual can be exposed again to the same drug usually in an
inadvertent way. This is called rechallenge and if followed by a recrudescence of the hepatic
damage is a strong argument to incriminate the agent. In fact, a ‘‘positive” rechallenge is
currently the strongest proof of causality in the adjudication process of suspected DILI cases
● The definition of positive rechallenge relies on the threshold reached by aminotransferases
upon drug resumption. By common convention it is currently defined as ALT >3x ULN
● Importantly, rechallenge of a patient who showed initial liver injury caused by a drug has
traditionally been regarded as a dangerous practice with potentially serious consequences, as
it sometimes leads to rapid, worse liver injury or even fulminant liver failure.
Genetic Testing
● The rarity of an occurrence of DILI in relation to a given drug means that many of these
HLA alleles have a negative predictive value of >95%. Consequently, genetic tests can
be used to exclude the diagnosis of DILI or to exclude a specific drug as an aetiological
agent when more than one potential medication could have caused DILI. Published
case reports demonstrate such examples of effective use of genetic tests in clinical
practice.
● While exclusion of alternative causes is an important component of causality
assessment in a suspected DILI, HLA genotyping in combination could strengthen the
diagnosis of DILI.
New Biomarkers
● In human acetaminophen-induced liver injury, miR-122, miR-192-5p and other miRNAs
are elevated, but further studies are needed to assess whether drug-induced
pathognomonic ‘‘signatures” of circulating miRNAs could serve as diagnostic ‘‘liquid
biopsies”.
● Glutathione S-transferases (GSTs) are phase II detoxifying enzymes, which metabolise
reactive metabolites. Data from the Spanish DILI registry suggest that GST gene
polymorphisms confer susceptibility to hepatotoxicity induced by multiple drugs.
Therapy of DILI
General measures
● The most important initial step in terms of management of suspected DILI is to
discontinue the implicated agent. In the large majority of DILI, spontaneous recovery
occurs, without the need for any treatment or specific measure. In fact, spontaneous
recovery after discontinuation of the offending drug is an important criterion in the
causality assessment.
Spesific Therapies
● Cholestyramine
A short administration of cholestyramine may be used to decrease the course of hepatotoxicity induced by very selected
drugs, such as leflunomide and terbinafine.
● Carnitine administration
Carnitine may be used to improve the course of valproate hepatotoxicity. The typically recommended dose is 100 mg/kg
intravenously over 30 minutes (but less than 6 g), followed by 15 mg/kg every 4 hours until clinical improvement
● N-acetylcysteine
These patients received 10 g of NAC given intravenously over 24 hours for 7 days and an oral dose of 1 mg/kg
prednisolone per day, with the dose tapered according to biochemical response. The combined NAC/prednisolone
treatment led to significant liver profile improvements within 2 weeks and the cases resolved more rapidly than in
untreated sFILI patients.
● Ursodeoxycholic acid
Chronic cholestasis following DILI is often treated with ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA).
Management of drug-induced ALF
● Treatments non-specific to DILI
○ Current approaches to treat ALF are aimed at providing temporary replacement of hepatic function and detoxification
(extracorporeal devices) while awaiting spontaneous recovery or recovery with therapies that enhance liver regeneration (stem
cell and growth factors).
○ Liver transplantation is still the primary rescue treatment for ALF, with a 1-year survival rate of around 80% in liver transplant
recipients with ALF.
● Treatments specific to DILI
There are 2 main treatment approaches for drug-induced ALF:
a) rapid depuration of the body from the toxic drug to stop further aggression before the agent may reach the
liver;
b) administration of an antidote to prevent and/or stop the aggression once the drug has reached the liver.
○ Charcoal depuration is mainly used as a treatment for paracetamol toxicity. It is an efficient treatment that prevents further
absorption of the drug if administered within 3–4 hours following an acute ingestion.
○ N-acetylcysteine used early in the course of ALF may prevent progression to more severe encephalopathy and may also exert
renal protective effects.
○ Liver injury caused by antiepileptic drugs are commonly associated with features of hypersensitivity and may respond to steroids
Preventing DILI
The value of liver test monitoring
● As with other liver diseases, clinical symptoms associated with DILI may occur only
when serious injury has already happened. In most cases, the first sign of injury is
elevation in liver enzymes.
● One exception is prevention of anti-TBC treatment associated hepatotoxicity. These
drugs, in particular isoniazid, are a leading cause of liver injury and early treatment
cessation is important for a better outcome. According to the ATS guidelines patients
should stop isoniazid treatments if ALT >3 x ULN in the presence of symptoms, such as
nausea, abdominal pain, jaundice and/or unexpected fatigue, or when ALT >5x ULN in
the absence of symptoms
Class effect and cross reactivity
● Although almost any drug can in theory elicit idiosyncratic DILI given an individual
patient’s susceptibility, incidence across different drug classes seems to vary
significantly.
● Certain groups of medical drugs such as antibiotics, NSAIDs, statins, anticonvulsants,
antivirals, kinase inhibitors, TNF a antagonists, and checkpoint inhibitors apparently
confer a higher risk for hepatotoxicity than others.
Case Study
○ Ingested a large mixed overdose of predominantly paracetamol as much as 47.5 g paracetamol (864
mg/kg bodyweight) as well as codeine, ibuprofen and alcohol had been consumed in the preceding 24
hours.
● Riwayat Penyakit : depression, bulimia, alcohol abuse, self-harm and suicide attempts
● Riwayat Pengobatan : no other medical history of note, took no regular medications and
had no known allergies
Objective Data
● Tanda Vital : unremarkable
● Kesadaran : fluctuating consciousness with confusion and was unable to provide a full
history
● no clinical signs of opiate toxicity.
● Hematologi
○ lactic acidosis (pH 7.22, pCO2 3.9 kPa, base excess (BE) −11 mmol/L and lactate 7.9 mmol/L).
○ Renal function was normal (creatinine 52 µmol/L),
○ liver function was deranged (alanine aminotransferase (ALT) 562 U/L, alkaline phosphatase 122 U/L and
bilirubin 12 µmol/L),
○ synthetic function was not yet affected (International Normalised Ratio (INR) 0.99).
○ Plasma ammonia level was 72 µmol/L (normal 11-32 µmol/L).
○ paracetamol level was 536 mg/L (normal : <30 mg/L).
Causality Assessment.
● The causality of drug-induced hepatotoxicity in this case was established by Roussel
Uclaf Causality Assessment Method/Council for International Organizations of Medical
Sciences score as follows:
○ Hepatocellular, second exposure, onset of <5 days(+1),
○ time from withdrawal of drug until reaction onset <15 days (+1),
○ risk factors being alcohol (+1),
○ age <55 (0),
○ >50% improvement in 8 days (+3),
○ no concomitant therapy (0),
○ excluded non–drug-related causes: rule out (+2),
○ response to read administration positive (+3)
○ with total score of 11 indicating “Highly Probable” (>8)
ADR Assessment
● This drug-related adverse event was confirmed by Naranjo Algorithm as follows:
○ Previous reports positive (+1),
○ Adverse events appeared after the suspected drug was given (+2),
○ With the transaminases improving after the discontinuation of the drug (+1),
○ And the adverse reaction appearing after the readministration of the drug (+2),
○ With no alternative causes to explain this adverse reaction (+2),
○ Placebo not been given (0),
○ Drug levels not done (0),
○ Without changing the administered dose of the drug (0),
○ Similar reaction in the past with the same drug (+1),
○ And the adverse event confirmed by objective evidence (+1)
● With a total score of 10 which is >9, thus “definite ADR.”
The temporal association also strongly proves drug-induced hepatotoxicity in this case.
Planning
● Aggressive fluid resuscitation and instigating N-acetylcysteine (NAC)
● These patients received 10 g of NAC given intravenously over 24 hours for 7 days
● Two hours later, despite aggressive fluid resuscitation and instigating N-acetylcysteine
(NAC), the acidosis persisted (pH 7.21, pCO2 4.1 kPa, BE (BE) −10.5 mmol/L and
bicarbonate 17.1 mmol/L), the lactate remained elevated at 5.6 mmol/L and the patient
remained confused. In light of the above, the patient underwent haemodialysis and
following this, all markers of acid–base homeostasis improved, as did cognition.
Monitoring and Evaluation
● Checking a paracetamol level 2hrs before the end of bag 2 is NEW for this protocol.
● U&E, HCO3, glu, LFTs, FBC and INR should be done 2hrs before the end of each infusion
2. Ensure results are READY for the end of the infusion.
● If unable to achieve blood sampling at the correct time and a delay of >90 minutes is
predicted then proceed to the next infusion to avoid prolonged omission of NAC. Bloods
should be checked at the earliest opportunity and discontinuation criteria referred to.
● Capillary Blood Glucose (CBG) 6 hourly while on NAC.
● If rapid or progressive biochemical deterioration then discuss with senior and consider
referral to regional transplant centre.
● IV NAC can be associated with minor rise in INR without an acute liver injury.
