| Core Tip |
Intravenous (IV) amiodarone drug induced liver injury (DILI) is uncommon, and difficult to distinguish from ischemic hepatitis or congestive hepatopathy. Further, the pathophysiology is uncertain. IV N-acetylcysteine (NAC) is often used empirically as a treatment for idiopathic hepatitis or DILI. We report a case of rapid improvement of liver enzymes in a suspected case of IV amiodarone DILI with IV NAC, suggesting at least some shared features between the pathogenic mechanisms of the former and the therapeutic actions of the latter. |
