Metimazol kullanımı sonrası sarılık: Olgu sunumu

Öz

Hipertiroidi tedavisinde yer alan metimazol sonrası sık görülmemekle beraber kolestatik paternde karaciğer hasarı ve sarılık gelişebilmektedir. Nadiren ölümcül de olabilen bu durum ilaç kesilmesini takiben genellikle geri dönüşlü bir seyir gösterir. Hastaların yakın takibi ve destek tedavisi önemlidir. Metimazol ilişkili kolestatik veya miks (karışık) tip karaciğer hasarı gelişen hastalarda antitiroid ilaç yerine radyoaktif iyot veya cerrahi tedavi önerilmelidir. Bu raporda metimazol ilişkili miks tip karaciğer hasarı gelişmiş sarılıkla prezente olan bir olgu sunulmaktadır.

Jaundice after methimazole use: A case report

Öz

Although it is not common after methimazole in the treatment of hyperthyroidism, liver injury and jaundice may develop in a cholestatic pattern. This condition, which can rarely be fatal, usually shows a reversible course after drug discontinuation. Close follow-up of patients and supportive treatment are important. Radioactive iodine or surgical treatment should be recommended instead of antithyroid medication in patients who develop methimazole-associated cholestatic or mixed type liver injury. In this report, a case with methimazole-associated mixed type liver injury with jaundice is presented.
