Brief Summary:
This study is to observe the efficacy and safety of glucocorticosteroid treatment in the patients with chronic recurrent drug-induced liver injury (DILI).
Detailed Description:
Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) refers to liver diseases caused by drugs and toxic substances. DILI is a clinical event that can be associated with severe outcomes such as acute liver failure. Up to now, approximately 1000 drugs, herbal products, vitamins and illicit compounds are associated with liver injury. Recently, the incidence of DILI is rising. In our hospital, hospitalized patients with DILI was increased from 1.39% in 2002 to 2.31% in 2006, and further up to 3.17% in 2011, which indicated 2.3-folds increase over last ten years.15% to 20% patients with acute DILI are prone to chronic liver disease. For patients with chronic recurrent DILI, routine liver protective treatment was difficult to rescue abnormal liver functions. Moreover, increasing health care costs seriously affect the patient's quality of life. Glucocorticosteroids can inhibit the non-specific inflammation and permeability of the capillary bile duct, limit the activation of T lymphocytes, and selectively inhibit B lymphocytes to produce antibodies, thus preventing or delaying the immune-induced liver injury. Glucocorticoid treatment of severe DILI has accepted some recognition, but the effect of repeated episodes of chronic DILI, due to a lack of randomized controlled studies, is still unclear. Therefore, we shall design two groups on the basis of the ratio of 1:1, namely, glucocorticoid treatment group and standard treatment alone group. Participants in glucocorticoid treatment group will receive methylprednisolone,48mg/d for the 1st week, 32mg/d for the 2nd week, 24mg/d for the next two weeks, followed by 16mg/d for 32 weeks and reduction in doses of methylprednisolone by 4 mg per 4 weeks until drug withdrawal. Participants in glucocorticoid treatment group also receive standard treatment including reduced glutathione, glycyrrhizin, ademetionine, alprostadil,or ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) in the first 12 weeks. Participants in standard treatment group will only receive treatment by routine liver protection drugs including reduced glutathione, glycyrrhizin, ademetionine, alprostadil, or ursodeoxycholic acid (UDCA) in the first 12 weeks.The efficacy and safety of glucocorticoid treatment in the patients with chronic recurrent DILI will be observed during the treatment and follow-up period.
