Assessment Scales

Drug-induced hepatotoxicity most commonly manifests as an acute hepatitis syndrome and remains the leading cause of drug-induced death/mortality and the primary reason for withdrawal of drugs from the pharmaceutical market. We report a case of acute liver injury in a 12-year-old Hispanic boy, who received a series of five antibiotics (amoxicillin, ceftriaxone, vancomycin, ampicillin/sulbactam, and clindamycin) for cervical lymphadenitis/retropharyngeal cellulitis. Histopathology of the liver biopsy specimen revealed acute cholestatic hepatitis. All known causes of acute liver injury were appropriately excluded and (only) drug-induced liver injury was left as a cause of his cholestasis. Liver-specific causality assessment scales such as Council for the International Organization of Medical Sciences/Roussel Uclaf Causality Assessment Method scoring system (CIOMS/RUCAM), Maria and Victorino scale, and Digestive Disease Week-Japan were applied to seek the most likely offending drug. Although clindamycin is the most likely cause by clinical diagnosis, none of causality assessment scales aid in the diagnosis.

Pre Treatment

Background: Anti-tuberculous (TB) medications are common causes of drug-induced liver injury (DILI). Limited data are available on systemic inflammatory mediators as biomarkers for predicting DILI before treatment. We aimed to select predictive markers among potential candidates and to formulate a predictive model of DILI for TB patients. Methods: Adult active TB patients from a prospective cohort were enrolled, and all participants received standard anti-tuberculous treatment. Development of DILI, defined as ≥5× ULN for alanine transaminase or ≥2.6× ULN of total bilirubin with causality assessment (RUCAM, Roussel Uclaf causality assessment method), was regularly monitored. Pre-treatment plasma was assayed for 15 candidates, and a set of risk prediction scores was established using Cox regression and receiver-operating characteristic analyses. Results: A total of 19 (7.9%) in 240 patients developed DILI (including six carriers of hepatitis B virus) following anti-TB treatment. Interleukin (IL)-22 binding protein (BP), interferon gamma-induced protein 1 (IP-10), soluble CD163 (sCD163), IL-6, and CD206 were significant univariable factors associated with DILI development, and the former three were backward selected as multivariable factors, with adjusted hazards of 0.20 (0.07–0.58), 3.71 (1.35–10.21), and 3.28 (1.07–10.06), respectively. A score set composed of IL-22BP, IP-10, and sCD163 had an improved area under the curve of 0.744 (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Pre-treatment IL-22BP was a protective biomarker against DILI development under anti-TB treatment, and a score set by additional risk factors of IP-10 and sCD163 employed an adequate DILI prediction.

Background: Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a common and serious adverse drug reaction with insufficient clinical diagnostic strategies and treatment methods. The only clinically well-received method is the Roussel UCLAF Causality Assessment Method scale, which can be applied to both individuals and prospective or retrospective studies. However, in severe cases, patients with DILI still would develop acute liver failure or even death. Pharmacogenomics, a powerful tool to achieve precision medicine, has been used to study the polymorphism of DILI related genes.Summary: We summarized the pathogenesis of DILI and findings on associated genes and variations with DILI, including but not limited to HLA genes, drug metabolizing enzymes, and transporters genes, and pointed out further fields for DILI related pharmacogenomics study to provide references for DILI clinical diagnosis and treatment.Key Messages: At present, most of the studies are mainly limited to CGS and GWAS, and there is still a long way to achieve clinical transformation. DNA methylation could be a new consideration, and ethnic differences and special populations also deserve attention.

Purpose: Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a common adverse reaction in the clinic; however, there are relatively few reports of DILI in critically ill newborns and children. Making use of the Pediatric Intensive Care database (PIC), this study identifies which drugs are related to DILI in neonates and children in China.Methods: Using the PIC, we screened for patients whose liver was suspected of being injured by drugs during hospitalization. The medicine they used was then assessed by the Roussel Uclaf Causality Assessment Method (RUCAM). At the same time, we also collated drug combinations that may affect CYP (Cytochrome P) enzyme metabolism, which may cause DILI.Results: A total of 13,449 patients were assessed, of whom 77 newborns and 261 children were finally included. The main type of liver injury in neonates was mixed (83.1%), while the hepatic injury types of children were mostly distributed between hepatocellular (59.4%) and cholestatic (28.4%). In terms of the RUCAM assessment, the drugs that were most considered to cause or be associated with hepatic injury in newborns were medium and long chain fat emulsions (17%), sodium glycerophosphate (12%), and meropenem (9%); while omeprazole (11%), methylprednisolone sodium succinate (10%), and meropenem (8%) were the primary culprits of DILI in children. Drug combinations frequently seen in neonates that may affect CYP enzyme metabolism are omeprazole + budesonide (16.9%), dexamethasone + midazolam (10.4%), and midazolam + sildenafil (10.4%). In children, the commonly used drug combinations are fentanyl + midazolam (20.7%), ibuprofen + furosemide (18.4%), and diazepam + omeprazole (15.3%).Conclusions: In this study, medium and long chain fat emulsions and sodium glycerophosphate have been strongly associated with DILI in newborns, while omeprazole and methylprednisolone sodium succinate play an important role in the DILI of children. Also, attention should be paid to the effect on CYP enzymes when using multiple drugs at the same time. In future DILI cases, it is advisable to use the latest RUCAM for prospective study design so that complete case data and high RUCAM scores can be collected.

Clinical Diagnostic Criteria

Abstract Background Drug-induced liver injury(DILI) is difficult in diagnose, criteria used now are mostly based on history review. We tried to evaluate the value of these criteria and histopathology features in DILI to perform a method diagnosing DILI more definitely.Methods We enrolled 458 consecutive hospitalized DILI patients from 1st January 2012 to 31st December 2018, using Roussel-Uclaf Causality Assessment Method(RUCAM), Maria&Victorino scale (M&V) and Digestive Disease Week-Japan criterion(DDW-J) to perform the evaluation. A refined pathological scale was calculated and combined with those criteria using logistic regression analysis. Area under receiver operating characteristics(AUROC) were used to estimate diagnostic accuracy.Results The AUROC of the three clinical diagnostic criteria were 0.730 (95%CI:0.667-0.793), 0.793(95%CI:0.740-0.847) and 0.764(95%CI:0.702-0.826) respectively. The AUROC of the refined pathological scale combined with the three criteria were 0.843(95%CI:0.747-0.914), 0.907(95%CI:0.822-0.960) and 0.881(95%CI:0.790-0.942) respectively. In hepatocellular type, the AUROCs were 0.894(95%CI:0.787-0.959), 0.960(95%CI:0.857-0.994) and 0.940(95%CI:0.847-0.985); In cholestatic type, the AUROCs were 0.750(95%CI:0.466-0.931), 0.500(95%CI:0.239-0.761) and 0.500(95%CI:0.239-0.761); In mixed type, the AUROCs were 0.786(95%CI: 0.524-0.943), 0.869(95%CI:0.619-0.981) and 0.762(95%CI: 0.498 -0.930).Conclusion Combined with pathological scale can significantly improve the accuracy of clinical diagnostic criteria, no matter in alone or combined condition, M&V might be more accurate in diagnosing DILI from suspected patients.
