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. Therapy with gabapentin is not associated with serum aminotransferase elevations, but several cases of clinically apparent liver injury from gabapentin have been reported. Gabapentin is a unique anticonvulsant that is used as adjunctive therapy in management of epilepsy and for neuropathic pain syndromes. Gabapentin (Neurontin) usually isn’t bad for your liver or kidneys. In most cases, it has little effect on these organs. In rare instances, gabapentin can cause DRESS (drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms) syndrome. Gabapentin is an anti-convulsant that is also used off-label to treat neuropathic pain. It is not metabolized by the liver, and there have been few reports of hepatotoxity associated with it. We present a rare case of gabapentin-induced hepatotoxicity occurring in a young male. Yes, gabapentin is commonly prescribed by veterinarians for various reasons, including pain management, anxiety relief, and seizure control. 2. Can gabapentin cause elevated liver enzymes in dogs? While gabapentin itself is not usually associated with elevated liver enzymes, some rare cases of clinically apparent liver injury have been reported Herein, we report a gabapentin-induced hepatocellular injury in a patient without another identifiable cause for acute liver injury. Discontinuing gabapentin resulted in rapid reversal improvement in hepatocellular injury. Keywords: drug-induced liver injury; gabapentin; hepatotoxicity. Other AEDs with rising and currently highest prescription rates were associated with few or no cases of liver injury including gabapentin (45.3 million), clonazepam (18.8 million), pregabalin (10.6 million), topiramate (9.3 million), and levetiracetam (7.7 million) and many of cases were judged as only “probable”. Magnetic resonance cholangiopancreatography showed no biliary abnormalities. After gabapentin was discontinued, liver enzymes began to downtrend with discharge values of AST 16, ALT 35, ALP 413, Tbili 9.3 and INR 1.1 (Figure). Discussion: Gabapentin induced liver injury is rare with few reported cases, many of which did not exclude other Gabapentin enacarbil and gabapentin are associated with a low rate of transient serum enzyme elevations during treatment and with rare instances of clinically apparent liver injury. Gabapentin enacarbil is a long acting form of gabapentin that is used for restless leg syndrome and for painful postherpetic neuropathy. Even high doses of gabapentin (400mg/kg) for 30 days do not produce deleterious adverse effects on the liver or haematological parameters. Pfizer, the manufacturer of gabapentin, reports abnormal liver function in clinical trials of patients with gabapentin. Gabapentin-Induced Liver Toxicity. Chahal, Japjot MD 1; Arif, Muhammad Osman MD 2; Elevated Prothrombin Time and International Normalized Ratio Caused by Can gabapentin cause liver enzymes to be elevated? Gabapentin is a unique anticonvulsant used as an adjunctive therapy in managing epilepsy and neuropathic pain syndromes. It is a structural analogue of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and has been approved for use in the United States in 1993. Gabapentin caused elevated liver function enzymes AST, ALT, and ALP beside bilirubin. Gabapentin effects on lipid profile, Blood electrolytes, and functions of kidney and liver of laboratory One study found that up to 9% of people without symptoms have elevated liver enzymes on a standard liver screening test. Most often, you won’t have any signs of elevated liver enzymes unless these elevations become severe, and you develop liver damage. We study 323,232 people who take Gabapentin (gabapentin) or have Elevated liver enzymes. No report of Elevated liver enzymes is found in people who take Gabapentin. The phase IV clinical study is created by eHealthMe based on reports from the FDA, and is updated regularly. Can administration of gabapentin for trigeminal neuralgia dramatically increase liver function tests? The main reasons for gabapentin misuse are getting “high”, alleviating opioid withdrawal and potentiating methadone. The prevalence of problems related to gabapentin use ranges from 1.1% to 19%. Gabapentin inadequate use can lead to toxicity and mortality. 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 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. Herein, we report a gabapentin-induced hepatocellular injury in a patient without another identifiable cause for acute liver injury. Discontinuing gabapentin resulted in rapid reversal improvement in hepatocellular injury. Keywords: gabapentin, hepatotoxicity, drug-induced liver injury.
