Gabapentin is an uncommon cause of DILI reported to cause a hepatocellular, cholestatic, or mixed picture of liver injury. Given the limitations of prior cases, we feel our report most closely ties gabapentin use to the resultant transaminase elevation. Gabapentin is not protein-bound. A high volume of distribution indicates greater concentration in tissue than in plasma. It is not metabolized and does not induce hepatic enzymes or inhibit metabolism of other antiepileptic drugs. Therapy with gabapentin is not associated with serum aminotransferase elevations, but several cases of clinically apparent liver injury from gabapentin have been reported. However, gabapentin is one of the few drugs that is not metabolized by the liver; instead, it is primarily metabolized by the kidneys. Why is gabapentin bad? Gabapentin may interact with certain types of substances and cause negative side effects. For example, mixing alcohol and gabapentin can cause people to feel dizzy or tired. Gabapentin, a water-soluble amino acid, is eliminated unchanged by the kidneys and there is no appreciable metabolism by the liver. However, there are a few descriptions of gabapentin-related Gabapentin and Cirrhosis of the Liver - Fatty Liver Disease NSAIDs are contraindicated for systemic use in most liver disease patients, because of increased bioavailability, the high risk of precipitating gastrointestinal bleeding and renal failure. 20 Pregabalin and gabapentin are not metabolized in the liver and can be considered for use. 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. It is extensively metabolized in the liver and only a small percent of the drug is excreted unchanged in the urine. 19, 20 Since ESM undergoes significant liver metabolism, it has potential interactions with other enzyme-inducing AEDs, though the clinical importance of these drug–drug interactions is unclear. Hi, Gabapentin is exclusively excreted by the Kidneys and undergoes no appreciable metabolism by the Liver. As to whether it is toxic to your Kidneys is probably a question that you should be asking your prescribing doctor. While gabapentin primarily targets the CNS, its effects ripple through other organ systems as well. The kidneys, liver, and gastrointestinal tract all play roles in how gabapentin is metabolized and eliminated from the body. Effects on the Kidneys. Gabapentin is primarily excreted unchanged by the kidneys. Unlike many other drugs, gabapentin is not metabolized by the liver and is excreted unchanged in the urine. This characteristic simplifies its use, as it does not interact significantly with other medications metabolized by hepatic enzymes. 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. Patients with liver disease may require long-term AED treatment. The selection of AEDs in these individuals deserves careful consideration. Drug metabolism depends on the integrity of the hepatocyte, the blood flow, and the patency of the hepatobiliary system. 5 Because of the large hepatic reserve, the liver dysfunction must be severe to cause substantial alterations in drug metabolism. 27 Gabapentin/pregabalin: not metabolized by the liver or bound by proteins, but consider renal dysfunction in cirrhosis patients, as well as other relevant side effects (e.g. sedation, dizziness); minimal data on safety of these agents. They are not metabolised by the liver and do not affect the cytochrome P450 system, major cytochrome P450 system isoenzymes; however, drug-induced hepatotoxicity has been described in case reports. 16 Elimination is mostly done by the kidney and is proportional to the creatinine clearance. Accumulation can cause renal failure resulting in These situations are briefly explained. If clinicians encounter such situations, they will need to make appropriate dose adjustments, or they can prescribe drugs that are not metabolized in the liver. Important neuropsychopharmacologic agents that are not metabolized in the liver are presented and briefly discussed. Gapentin is not metabolized by the liver, and its effects on the liver and kidneys are similar to previous studies. In rare cases, gabapentin can cause DRESS (drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms). Gabapentin-Induced Liver Toxicity Am J Ther. 2022 Nov-Dec;29(6):e751-e752. doi: 10.1097/MJT.0000000000001208. Epub 2020 Jun 5. Authors Japjot Chahal 1 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.
