Injury
Isoniazid (INH) :
Not well-understood.
Delayed onset : weeks to months
60% incidence in first 3 months
No hepatotoxicity on re-challenge
Isoniazidis associated with :
Reactive metabolite
Immuno-allergic injury : HLA-DQB1*0201
Mitochondrial injury
Acetyl-isoniazid, the principal metabolite
of isoniazid, is converted to mono-acetyl
hydrazine.
The
microsomal p-450 enzymes convert
mono-acetyl hydrazine to other
compounds resulting in hepatotoxicity.
Histopathology : resembles viral hepatitis
showing
hepatocyte necrosis,
ballooning degeneration and
inflammatory infiltrates.
Genetic :
Absence of HLA –DQA1*0102 and
Presence of HLA-DQB1*0201
are independent risk factors for DILI
Alcoholism and underlying CLD :
Both predispose to the development of DILI
Infections :
Hepatitis B : independent risk factor
Hepatitis C
HIV
Malnutrition :
Poor nutritional status and
Decreased serum albumin levels (<3.5
g/dl)
Types of tuberculosis :
Extensive cavitary form of pulmonary TB
TB meningitis
Acetylator phenotype :
Highly debated : slow vs. fast acetylators
Previous suggestion : rapid acetylators are
more prone to DILI because of larger
amount of acetyl-isoniazid
New concept :
Products of hydrolysis are critical toxic
metabolites which is greater in slow
acetylators
Rifampicin induces isoniazid hydrolase
forming isonicotinic acid and hydrazine
Drug metabolising enzymes :
N-acetyl transferase 2 (NAT2) : slow
NAT2 genotype (East Asians)
Cytochrome p450 2E1 : CY2E1 Rsal/Pstl
polymorphism ( Chinese Koreans and
East Asians)
Glutathione S-transferase M1/T1 :
GSTM1 null genotype (Chinese and East
Asians)
I 51 to 125 IU/L or
1.25 to 2.5 times normal
II 126 to 250 IU/L or
2.6 to 5.0 times normal
III 251 to 500 IU/L or
5.1 to 10.0 times normal
IV >500 IU/L or
>10.0 times normal or
>250 IU/L if accompanied by
symptoms
Score for Diagnosis
Roussel Uclaf Causality Assessment
Method (RUCAM) score
Clinical, biochemical, serological and
radiological features of liver injury
Validated, standardized tool to assess the
probability of drug – relatedness for liver
injury.
Total range : -9 to +14
Highly probable : >8
Probable : 6 – 8
Possible : 3 – 5
Unlikely : 1 – 2
Excluded : <0
R Ratio
For differentiating hepatocellular, mixed or
cholestatic jaundice
R = (ALT/ ALT UNL) / (ALP/ ALP UNL)
R ratio :
>5 : Hepatocellular
2–5 : Mixed
<2 : Cholestatic
