Pre Treatment

Background: Anti-tuberculous (TB) medications are common causes of drug-induced liver injury (DILI). Limited data are available on systemic inflammatory mediators as biomarkers for predicting DILI before treatment. We aimed to select predictive markers among potential candidates and to formulate a predictive model of DILI for TB patients. Methods: Adult active TB patients from a prospective cohort were enrolled, and all participants received standard anti-tuberculous treatment. Development of DILI, defined as ≥5× ULN for alanine transaminase or ≥2.6× ULN of total bilirubin with causality assessment (RUCAM, Roussel Uclaf causality assessment method), was regularly monitored. Pre-treatment plasma was assayed for 15 candidates, and a set of risk prediction scores was established using Cox regression and receiver-operating characteristic analyses. Results: A total of 19 (7.9%) in 240 patients developed DILI (including six carriers of hepatitis B virus) following anti-TB treatment. Interleukin (IL)-22 binding protein (BP), interferon gamma-induced protein 1 (IP-10), soluble CD163 (sCD163), IL-6, and CD206 were significant univariable factors associated with DILI development, and the former three were backward selected as multivariable factors, with adjusted hazards of 0.20 (0.07–0.58), 3.71 (1.35–10.21), and 3.28 (1.07–10.06), respectively. A score set composed of IL-22BP, IP-10, and sCD163 had an improved area under the curve of 0.744 (p < 0.001). Conclusions: Pre-treatment IL-22BP was a protective biomarker against DILI development under anti-TB treatment, and a score set by additional risk factors of IP-10 and sCD163 employed an adequate DILI prediction.

Clinical Transformation

Background: Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a common and serious adverse drug reaction with insufficient clinical diagnostic strategies and treatment methods. The only clinically well-received method is the Roussel UCLAF Causality Assessment Method scale, which can be applied to both individuals and prospective or retrospective studies. However, in severe cases, patients with DILI still would develop acute liver failure or even death. Pharmacogenomics, a powerful tool to achieve precision medicine, has been used to study the polymorphism of DILI related genes.Summary: We summarized the pathogenesis of DILI and findings on associated genes and variations with DILI, including but not limited to HLA genes, drug metabolizing enzymes, and transporters genes, and pointed out further fields for DILI related pharmacogenomics study to provide references for DILI clinical diagnosis and treatment.Key Messages: At present, most of the studies are mainly limited to CGS and GWAS, and there is still a long way to achieve clinical transformation. DNA methylation could be a new consideration, and ethnic differences and special populations also deserve attention.

Clinical Diagnostic Criteria

Abstract Background Drug-induced liver injury(DILI) is difficult in diagnose, criteria used now are mostly based on history review. We tried to evaluate the value of these criteria and histopathology features in DILI to perform a method diagnosing DILI more definitely.Methods We enrolled 458 consecutive hospitalized DILI patients from 1st January 2012 to 31st December 2018, using Roussel-Uclaf Causality Assessment Method(RUCAM), Maria&Victorino scale (M&V) and Digestive Disease Week-Japan criterion(DDW-J) to perform the evaluation. A refined pathological scale was calculated and combined with those criteria using logistic regression analysis. Area under receiver operating characteristics(AUROC) were used to estimate diagnostic accuracy.Results The AUROC of the three clinical diagnostic criteria were 0.730 (95%CI:0.667-0.793), 0.793(95%CI:0.740-0.847) and 0.764(95%CI:0.702-0.826) respectively. The AUROC of the refined pathological scale combined with the three criteria were 0.843(95%CI:0.747-0.914), 0.907(95%CI:0.822-0.960) and 0.881(95%CI:0.790-0.942) respectively. In hepatocellular type, the AUROCs were 0.894(95%CI:0.787-0.959), 0.960(95%CI:0.857-0.994) and 0.940(95%CI:0.847-0.985); In cholestatic type, the AUROCs were 0.750(95%CI:0.466-0.931), 0.500(95%CI:0.239-0.761) and 0.500(95%CI:0.239-0.761); In mixed type, the AUROCs were 0.786(95%CI: 0.524-0.943), 0.869(95%CI:0.619-0.981) and 0.762(95%CI: 0.498 -0.930).Conclusion Combined with pathological scale can significantly improve the accuracy of clinical diagnostic criteria, no matter in alone or combined condition, M&V might be more accurate in diagnosing DILI from suspected patients.

More severe reactions, higher acute liver failure rates, and higher recurrence rates on re-challenge occur with supplement-related Drug Induced Liver Injury (DILI) (Medina-Caliz et al., 2018). We report a case of curcumin-induced hepatocellular DILI in a 78-year old female admitted with jaundice, with a one-month latency. Extensive evaluation for alternative etiologies of hepatotoxicity was unremarkable. The Roussel Uclaf Causality Assessment Method (RUCAM) score of 6 for the supplement indicated a probable association (score >8: highly probable association). Peak levels of aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) were >20 times upper limit of normal. A 48% decrease in AST and ALT levels was observed 7 days after discontinuation of the supplement, and resolution of transaminitis was observed in 42 days. No re-challenge was performed. In conclusion, this case emphasizes the importance of recognizing curcumin supplements as DILI triggers. Furthermore, it reiterates the need for careful evaluation of herbal and dietary supplements (HDS) consumed by patients to identify potential DILI culprits, and to ultimately prevent DILI reactions with significant morbidity and mortality.
