description | Owing to performance-enhancing and cosmetic effects, illicit use of anabolic-androgenic steroids (AAS) has been well-described and can be associated with significant complications. We report a 27-year-old Caucasian male who self-medicated with AAS in the form of intramuscular injections and oral testosterone for a one-year duration. He complained of persistent jaundice and moderate generalized itching for one month. On admission, his total bilirubin level was 11.4 mg/dl (normal: 0-1.2 mg/dl), and liver enzymes were slightly elevated. On follow-up, the patient stated complete resolution of symptoms and near-normalization of lab results after one month of conservative management. |
