With the continued rise of polysubstance use throughout the country, it has been shown to affect a multitude of organ systems. Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) has been widely documented in its association with salicylates or acetaminophen and the utility of using N-acetylcysteine (NAC) for its hepatoprotective effects. However, DILI caused by illicit drug use and guideline-directed management has had little research. We present the case of a 29-year-old female who presented with altered mental status. She was found to have a concomitant liver injury and was treated supportively without the use of NAC, with gradual improvement.
随着全国多物质使用情况的持续增加,已表明其会影响多个器官系统。药物性肝损伤(DILI)与水杨酸盐或对乙酰氨基酚的关联以及使用N-乙酰半胱氨酸(NAC)的肝保护作用已被广泛记录。然而,由非法药物使用导致的DILI及其循证管理方面的研究很少。我们报告一例29岁女性患者,其出现精神状态改变。她被发现同时伴有肝损伤,在未使用NAC的情况下接受了支持性治疗,并逐渐好转。
