Title: | Severe hepatitis induced by cyproterone acetate: Role of corticosteroids. A case report | Authors: | Abenavoli L. Milić, Nataša Beaugrand M. |
Issue Date: | 1-Jan-2013 | Journal: | Annals of Hepatology | Abstract: | Cyproterone acetate (CPA) is an oral anti-androgen commonly used to treat advanced prostate cancer. A variety of hepatotoxic reactions has been reported with CPA. Here we describe a case of a male patient who developed severe drug-induced hepatotoxicity during the treatment with CPA. The case, presenting sub-acute hepatitis, was characterized by a rapid evolution of cirrhosis and a protracted activity during the period of a few months despite the treatment withdrawal and an apparent benefits of corticosteroids, suggesting their indication in life threatening cases. | URI: | https://open.uns.ac.rs/handle/123456789/9257 | ISSN: | 16652681 |
