Drug-induced cholangiohepatitis accounts for 20-50% of non-viral chronic hepatitis cases. Metformin is the most commonly prescribed oral anti-diabetic drug from the biguanide class used in treatment of overweight and obese type 2 diabetes mellitus patients. Metformin-induced cholangiohepatitis with marked elevations in serum liver transaminases and intrahepatic cholestasis has been infrequently reported. Here, we report a case of acute cholangiohepatitis after initiation of metformin treatment.
药物性胆管肝炎占非病毒性慢性肝炎病例的20%至50%。二甲双胍是用于治疗超重和肥胖2型糖尿病患者的最常用的双胍类口服抗糖尿病药物。二甲双胍引起的伴有血清肝转氨酶显著升高和肝内胆汁淤积的胆管肝炎鲜有报道。在此,我们报告1例开始使用二甲双胍治疗后发生急性胆管肝炎的病例。
