Drug induced hepatotoxicity has been reported infrequently with sulfonylureas. For glimepiride, a second-generation sulfonylurea there is no report of hepatotoxicity in English literature. A patient with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus who developed cholestatic liver injury soon after initiation of glimepiride therapy is presented. Complete work-up disclosed no other cause for hepatotoxicity including negative serological results for viral hepatitis. Liver biopsy was consistent with drug-induced cholestasis. The patient recovered 50 days after stopping glimepiride with no further recurrences.
磺酰脲类药物引起的肝毒性报道较少。对于第二代磺酰脲类药物格列美脲,英文文献中尚无肝毒性的报道。本文报告了1例非胰岛素依赖型糖尿病患者,在开始格列美脲治疗后不久出现胆汁淤积性肝损伤。全面检查未发现其他肝毒性原因,包括病毒性肝炎血清学检查结果为阴性。肝活检结果符合药物性胆汁淤积。患者停用格列美脲50天后康复,未再复发。
