Setting up criteria for drug‐induced autoimmune‐like hepatitis through a systematic analysis of published reports

Björnsson, Einar S., Medina‐Caliz, Inmaculada, Andrade, Raul J., Lucena, M. Isabel·2022·Hepatology Communications

Abstract

Nitrofurantoin, minocycline, methyldopa and infliximab, have been found to induce autoimmune‐like hepatitis (DI‐AILH). Evidence for other drugs and herbal and dietary supplements (HDS) is unclear. The aims of the study were to establish criteria to define and review the published evidence of suspected DI‐AILH. Search was undertaken in Pubmed using search terms “drug‐induced liver injury,” “autoimmune hepatitis,” and “drug‐induced autoimmune hepatitis.” DI‐AILH was defined as (1) drug as a potential trigger of liver injury with autoimmune features and histological findings compatible with AIH; (2) no or incomplete recovery or worsening of liver tests after discontinuation of the drug; (3) corticosteroids requirement or spontaneous recovery; (4) follow‐up without immunosuppression (IS) and no relapse of AIH at least 6 months after discontinuation of IS; and (5) drugs potentially inducing AILH with a chronic course. Cases fulfilling the first four criteria were considered probable DI‐AILH with three possible DI‐AILH. A total of 186 case reports were identified for conventional drugs (n = 148; females 79%; latency 2.6 months) and HDS (n = 38; females 50%). The most commonly reported agents of DI‐AILH were interferons (n = 37), statins (n = 24), methylprednisolone (MPS) (n = 16), adalimumab (n = 10), imatinib (n = 8), and diclofenac (n = 7). Tinospora cordifolia and Khat were the only HDS with probable DI‐AILH cases. No relapses of AIH were observed when IS was stopped after interferons, imatinib, diclofenac, and methylprednisolone. Conclusion: Beyond well‐recognized nitrofurantoin, methyldopa, hydralazine, minocycline, and infliximab as causes of DI‐AILH, interferons, imatinib, adalimumab, and MPS were the best‐documented agents leading to probable DI‐AILH. Khat and Tinospora cordifolia were the only HDS found to be able to induce DI‐AILH. Long‐term immunosuppression appears to be rarely required in patients with DI‐AILH due to these drugs.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
