Keywords: | Acute-on-chronic liver failure; Amiodarone; Case report; Microabscess; Steatohepatitis | Issue Date: | 2-Feb-2021 | Publisher: | BMC | Journal Volume: | 21 | Journal Issue: | 1 | Source: | BMC gastroenterology | Abstract: | Amiodarone is an antiarrhythmic drug that has been recognized to induce hepatotoxicity. We report a case of acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) in a patient who was receiving amiodarone for more than 2 years. The patient developed cirrhosis and suppurative microabscesses of the liver and died of progressive liver failure. |
