AB - Reactions 1704, p335 - 2 Jun 2018 Hepatitis and synthetic liver failure: case report A 39-year-old woman developed hepatitis and synthetic liver failure during treatment with rivaroxaban for deep vein thrombosis (DVT). The woman was commenced on rivaroxaban 20mg daily [route not stated] for deep vein thrombosis of the left peroneus, and developed hepatitis and synthetic liver failure. Her liver function tests were markedly deranged at a clinical review 4 months following the initiation of rivaroxaban. Her ALT, AST, GGT were elevated. ALP was borderline. With the continued elevation in transaminases, synthetic function declined. A liver biopsy showed subacute hepatitis. The presence of multifocal centrilobular perivenular inflammation as well as mononuclear inflammatory infiltrate confirmed the diagnosis of drug-induced liver injury. Rivaroxaban was discontinued after a liver ultrasound confirmed that DVT had resolved. The woman made a rapid recovery thereafter; her laboratory parameters normalised in 4 weeks.
