Abstract
AIM: To explore the clinical characteristics and treatment of drug-induced liver injury in the perioperative period of cardiac surgery.
METHODS: The clinical data for 12 patients with drug-induced liver injury who were treated from 2009 to 2011 at the Affiliated Hospital of Guilin Medical College were collected. The clinical characteristics and treatment of drug-induced liver injury in the perioperative period of cardiac surgery were retrospectively analyzed.
RESULTS: The disease had clear causes in all patients. The main factors inducing drug-induced liver injury include antibiotics and anti-tuberculosis drugs. The clinical manifestations mainly include jaundice (9 cases) and increased bilirubin and serum enzymes (3 cases). The disease categories comprised infective endocarditis (IE, 7 cases), constrictive pericarditis (CP, 2 cases), coronary heart disease (CHD, 2 cases) and rheumatic heart disease (RHD, 1 case). All patients were cured and discharged from hospital. No complications occurred in 10 patients evaluable at follow-up.
CONCLUSION: The patients with congestive heart failure may tend to develop drug-induced liver injury. Early and accurate diagnosis is important for the treatment and prognosis of drug-induced liver injury.
