摘要: Background: Metformin hydrochloride is widely used for the treatment of type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM-2). Todate, only cases possible metformin-induced hepatotoxicity (acute hepatitis) have been reported worldwide. Objective: The aim this article was to report a case serious possibly associated with metformin use in an elderly patient DM-2. Methods: After receiving 500 mg/d 3 weeks, 73-year-old Japanese woman weighing 33.S kg poorly controlled DM-2 presented fatigue, jaundice, nausea, vomiting, anorexia, and abdominal pain. Laboratory analysis showed severe (elevated aspartate alanine aminotransferases [AST ALT, respectively], alkaline phosphatase [ALP], total bilirubin concentrations). history, clinical findings, laboratory features, course case, as well pharmacologic profile metformin, are presented. Results: Immediate hospitalization discontinuation led improvements liver function (decreased AST, ALP, concentrations) resolution symptoms within weeks. probability adverse drug reaction (ADR), assessed using Naranjo ADR scale, 4 (probable). Conclusions: In who after3 weeks treatment, appeared caused mixed-type (hepatocellular cholestatic) hepatic damage. Although rare, might be some cases.
