description | Disclosure: M. Shahid: None. A. Hamza: None. D. Vather-Wu: None. S. Sultan: None. P. Nabizadeh: None. Introduction: Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) accounts for almost 10% of all cases of acute hepatitis and can occur within days to months of initiation of a medication. Outcomes can vary from spontaneous resolution on discontinuation of the offending agent to fulminant hepatic failure requiring transplant or even death. Dulaglutide is a GLP-1 receptor agonist that augments glucose-dependent insulin secretion and slows gastric emptying. It is a weekly injectable medication for management of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Commonly reported side effects include nausea, vomiting, appetite suppression, and diarrhea or constipation. To date, there have been less than five published case reports of Dulaglutide-induced acute liver injury (ALI). Hereby, we present a case of Dulaglutide-induced ALI with coagulopathy that resolved with the use of N-acetylcysteine (NAC), steroids, and cessation of the medication. Clinical Case: A 38-year-old female with past medical history of T2DM, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and hypothyroidism presented with complaints of nausea, vomiting and epigastric discomfort for 5 days. She reported having malaise and lethargy for a month since she was started on Dulaglutide for management of her T2DM. Her physical examination was unremarkable. The laboratory workup showed AST >6000 U/L, ALT >3300 U/L, ALP 231 U/L, total bilirubin 3.3 mg/dL, direct bilirubin 2.3 mg/dL, indirect bilirubin 1.0 mg/dL, PT 40.3 seconds, INR 3.36 and negative toxicology screening. She was started empirically on intravenous NAC and methylprednisolone, and was followed by serial biochemical measurements. Further workup revealed no evidence of acute viral hepatitis, autoimmune hepatitis, metabolic (alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency, Wilson disease, hemochromatosis) or alcohol-related ALI. There were no clinical or imaging findings suggestive of ischemic hepatopathy, venous outflow obstruction or biliary obstruction. After ruling out other causes, the ALI was attributed to Dulaglutide use. AST and ALT improved significantly within 7 days and subsequently normalized within 3-4 weeks. Hepatic synthetic function also normalized within 2 weeks without any sequelae. Conclusion: This report highlights the need for awareness regarding potential but not insignificant risk of dulaglutide as cause of DILI. Extensive testing for other causes of ALI was negative and Dulaglutide-induced ALI was the most likely etiology in our case. Given limited data on hepatotoxicity induced by GLP-1 receptor agonists, further research is needed to ascertain this potentially fatal adverse reaction. We hope to contribute to the current medical literature. Presentation: Friday, June 16, 2023 |
