Propafenone is a widely used class Ic antiarrhythmic drug that is mainly metabolised by the liver. Hepatotoxicity associated with propafenone is rare, with only a few clinical cases reported in the literature.
We presented a case of propafenone-related hepatotoxicity, with cholestatic liver injury and development of jaundice and pruritus within 3 to 4 weeks of treatment initiation. Three months after discontinuation, the patient was asymptomatic, and all liver tests normalised.
With this clinical case, we aimed to emphasise the importance of the medication history and the exclusion of other possible causes of altered liver enzymes.
普罗帕酮是一种广泛使用的Ic类抗心律失常药物,主要经肝脏代谢。与普罗帕酮相关的肝毒性罕见,文献中仅报道了少数临床病例。
我们报告了一例普罗帕酮相关肝毒性病例,在开始治疗后3至4周内出现胆汁淤积性肝损伤,并伴有黄疸和瘙痒。停药三个月后,患者无症状,所有肝功能检查均恢复正常。
通过这个临床病例,我们旨在强调用药史的重要性以及排除其他可能导致肝酶改变的原因。
