Histologically, acute hepatitis was seen in five cases, and chronic hepatitis was seen in one case. Gabapentin was reported to cause cholestasis in two case reports. Despite the small number of reported cases of hepatotoxicity, trazodone and gabapentin are known causes of liver injury, and clinicians should be aware of this possibility. On admission laboratory findings revealed AST 87, alanine transaminase (ALT) 61, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) 1252, total bilirubin 23.4, international normalised ratio (INR) 1.1, and creatinine 1.98. One month prior the initial rise in ALP, he received gabapentin. Lab work revealed abnormal liver function tests, with ALP 1,232 IU/L, AST 291 IU/L, and ALT 188 IU/L, and normal total bilirubin of .8 mg/dL. Prior records revealed completely normal liver function tests 6 months prior to presentation. The levels of total bilirubin and conjugated bilirubin in serum (A) and the brain-to-plasma concentration ratio of gabapentin in the cortex, hippocampus, and striatum (B). Levels of total LAT1 protein ( C , D ) in the cortex, hippocampus, and striatum. (3 patients developed rash, fever, lymphadenopathy and eosinophilia 4-6 weeks after starting either phenytoin or carbamazepine [bilirubin 0.5-1.8 mg/dL, ALT 866-1402 U/L, Alk P 69-364 U/L], resolving after stopping and not recurring during gabapentin therapy). Many medications can cause liver enzymes to be elevated. A familiar over-the-counter medication that can cause liver damage from an overdose is acetaminophen ().A healthy person should not take more than 3,000 to 4,000 milligrams in a single day. The most used antiepileptic drugs in psychiatry are valproate, carbamazepine, topiramate, lamotrigine and gabapentin. Of these drugs, Valproate is associated with the greatest risk of potential liver toxicity. Gabapentin and pregabalin are the safest. Valproate hepatotoxicity is generally idiosyncratic. The x-axis show chronology of gabapentin administration. The left y-axis shows alkaline phosphatase levels in IU/L. The right y-axis shows total bilirubin levels in mg/dL. Gabapentin is not metabolized by the liver. Instead, it is excreted unchanged in your kidneys after circulating in your blood. Gabapentin affects nerves and chemicals in your body that are involved in some types of pain and in seizures. Gabapentin and other AEDs. Four patients experienced liver injury attributed to gabapentin (Table 2 and Supplemental Table 7). All were Caucasian adults with ages, ranging from 46.5 years to 75.6 years and BMI ranging from 21.3 to 39.6 kg/m2. The latency ranged from 15 days to 58 days. gabapentin led to significant elevation of liver enzymes (ALT, AST, and GGT) and bilirubin levels while other causes of viral hepatitis were excluded (7). The activity of liver enzymes, with 20 mg/kg of GPN were not significantly different from the control group but, the serum levels of aspartate aminotransferase, alanine aminotransferase, alkaline phosphatase, lactate dehydrogenase, direct bilirubin and total bilirubin were enhanced significantly with 100 mg/kg of GPN. For the albumin and bilirubin, there was no significant differences among all the groups at (P≤0.05). Discover the world's research. 25+ million members; Gabapentin (GPN) is a new There have been four reports of jaundice (one cholestatic) associated with the use of gabapentin and, as far as we know, none of these have been published. To the best of our knowledge this is the first reported case of gabapentin induced cholestatic jaundice. Gabapentin should be added to the list of drugs capable of producing this adverse Typically, your healthcare provider will prescribe gabapentin at a lower dose. They may then increase it based on how your body responds. A typical gabapentin dose for postherpetic neuralgia and seizures is 300 mg to 600 mg, 3 times a day. To avoid taking too much gabapentin, never double up on doses. Laboratory studies were significant for two negative troponins, elevated aspartate amino aspartate (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT), normal bilirubin, internalized normalized ratio (INR), and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels. Alcohol level was undetectable on admission. Gabapentin (GPN) is a new antiepileptic agent currently in used as add-on therapy in adult patients suffering from partial seizures. The extent of liver damage at different dosage and long term treatment with GPN is not yet clear. Therefore this study was undertaken to find out the possibility of li Gabapentin caused elevated liver function enzymes AST, ALT, and ALP beside bilirubin. Besides, the bilirubin and albumin values were not affected by gabapentin and there was no For healthcare professionals. Applies to gabapentin: compounding powder, oral capsule, oral solution, oral tablet, oral tablet extended release. General adverse events. The most common adverse reactions associated with the use of this drug were dizziness, somnolence, and peripheral edema.
