摘要
What is known and objective We report a special case of fenofibrate-induced acute severe DILI with sudden onset and rapid recovery, which is different from those in the LiverTox database. Case summary description The acute severe DILI occurred within only 4 days after fenofibrate initial treatment for hypertriglyceridemia. Liver enzyme levels eventually declined to normal within two weeks after the discontinuation of fenofibrate. What is new and Conclusion Early detection of elevated hepatic enzymes after fenofibrate initial treatment helps physicians to avoid delayed diagnosis and subsequent treatment.
