Establishing causality of ADR
9
- Prior reports of reaction
- Temporal relationship
- de challenge
- Re challenge ethically not that cool
- Diagnostic tests
- Dose-response relationship
- Alt etiologies
- Past hx of response to class or medication
- Drug-drug interaction

Liverpool ADR causality chart
WHat type of reaction is Acetaminophen induced hepatotoxicity and what labs do you see?
- Type A dose related rxn and you see a large elevation in ALTs
APAP concentrations when looking at APAP OD?
- Levels might be normal or undetectable at time of test
- Chronic vs. acute exposure?
Tx of APAP OD?
<4 hrs consider?
IV vs. Oral APAP
What is the oral dosing for NAC? WHen can treatment be DCed?
- <4 hrs consider induction of vomitting or NG lavage via activated charcoal
What is the oral dosing for NAC? WHen can treatment be DCed?
IV dosing?
- 140 mg/kg then 70 mg/kg q4hrs x 17 doses
- DC if Transaminases are normal and APAP undetectable in 36 hours
- Chronic OD pts should be Tx for at least 24 hrs
- IV 100 mg/kg load then 50 mg/kg over 4 hrsm then 100 mg/kg over 16 hours
- Continue until transaminases trend downward
What is the number 1 cause for postmarketing drug withdrawal?
Hepatotoxicity
DILI Risk factors
How is drug induced hepatic injury categorized?
- Hepatocellular
- Cholestatic
- Mixed
WHat usually causes hepatocellular injury and what 2 atributes might you see?
- Hepatoxins usually cause the hepato injury
- Leakage of aminotransferase enzymes (AST/ALT) from injured liver (liver specific)
- No evidence of obstruction
Cholestasis?
Usually reversible and less morbid
WHat aminotransferase is more specific for liver?
ALT
What is an indicator of a cholestatic injury?
Significant Alk phos elevation
Hepatocellular injury
Values
- ALT > 2 x ULN and R >=5
Cholestatic Injury Values?
- Alk Phos > 2 x ULN R <=2
Mixed injury Values?
- Alk and ALT > 2 x ULN and R between 2 and 5
Acetaminophen and friends what type of injury is seen? 3 friends
- Nevirapine, valpro, isoniazid
- Acute hepatocellular injury with elevated ALTs and (+/-) hyperbilli
Drugs and examples of what types of injury they cause to the liver
What are the 3 keys to assess causality?
- Temporal Relationship
- Individuals susceptibility
- Be diligent in excluding other cuases
