Health condition and Intervention

Section to complete information about the primary medical condition(s) or problem(s) studied and, a characteristics of the intervention(s).

Health condition(s) or Problem(s) studied:

Hepatotoxicity

Health condition(s) code:

Drug-Induced Liver Injury

Liver Diseases

Digestive System Diseases

Intervention(s):

No intervention apply After the signed of informed consent, patient data is collected and analized. The Roussel Uclaf Causality Assessment Method (RUCAM) and Maria y Victorino (M&V) scales are applied to assess causality of the suspicious drug that cause hepatotoxicity.

Intervention code:

Observational Study

Outcomes and Timepoint

Section to complete information about primary and secondary outcomes including. It includes the metric or method of measurement used and, the time point for every outcome.

Primary outcome(s):

1. Alteration of liver tests as indicator of hepatic injury (Increase of alanine aminotransferase>3 times and/or increase of alkaline phosphatase>2 times the upper limit of normal. Normal ranges for alanine aminotransferase: 10-49 U/L and alkaline phosphatase: 45-129 U/L). Measurement time: at the patient admission, monitoring between 48-72 hours during hospitalization. 2. Used drugs (identification of the active principle, concentration, trade name, dose interval, administration route). Measurement time: data collection between 6-48 hours at the patient admission and, daily monitoring on the following hospital days. 3. Use of natural products and dietary supplements (identification of the active principle, concentration, trade name, dose interval, way of administration). Measurement time: data collection between 6-48 hours at the patient admission and, daily monitored on the following hospital days.

Key secondary outcomes:

1. Age (patient’ years). Measurement time: Between 6-48 hours at the patient admission. 2. Gender (Female, Male). Measurement time: Between 6-48 hours at the patient admission. 3. Selection and location of the patient (emergency service or hospitalization service in internal consultation). Measurement time: Between 6-24 hours at the patient admission. 4. Intake of alcohol (Beer: 200 mL (5.12 g), 300 mL (7.7 g), 330 (8.5 g). Wine: 100 mL (7.2 g), 200 mL (14.4 g). Glass of liquor: 45 mL (12.6 g). Criteria for alcoholism: more than 20 g/day in women and more than 40 g/day in men). Between 6-48 hours at the patient admission. 5. Ingestion of toxic substances (psychoactive substances). Measurement time: Between 6-48 hours at the patient admission. 6. Comorbidities (names). Measurement time: Between 6-48 hours at the patient admission. 7. Extra-hepatic signs and symptoms (names). Measurement time: Between 6-48 hours at the patient admission and, daily monitoring on the following hospital days.

Selection criterias

Section to complete information about the inclusion and exclusion criteria for participant selection, including age and gender.

Gender:

Male/Female

Minimum age:

18 years

Maximum age:

None

Inclusion criteria:

1. Patients older than 18 years. 2. Presumptive identification of hepatotoxicity: patients who, upon admission to the emergency room or during hospitalization, are assigned an increase in alanine aminotransferase values greater than 3 times and/or alkaline phosphatase higher than 2 times the upper limit of normal, and the physician in charge considers that the stay in the institution is superior to 48-72 hours, due to the need to follow the reduction or elevation of the altered values and confirm the possible hepatotoxicity. 3. Patients or caregivers who authorize their participation in the study through the signing of informed consent.

Exclusion criteria:

1. Patients with an increase in ALT values greater than 3 times the ULN and / or ALP higher than 2 times the ULN for more than 6 months. 2. Patients with acute coronary syndrome. 3. Patients with terminal disease. 4. Patients with some type of neoplasm under treatment. 5. Patients with intoxications 6. Patients with alcohol consumption greater than 20 g / day in women and greater than 40 g/day in men.
