Gabapentin, a water-soluble amino acid, is eliminated unchanged by the kidneys and there is no appreciable metabolism by the liver. Gabapentin (Neurontin) usually isn’t bad for the liver or kidneys, but in rare instances, it can cause DRESS (drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms). Gabapentin enacarbil and gabapentin are associated with a low rate of transient serum enzyme elevations during treatment and with rare cases. Liver and renal functions were impaired by gabapentin; where hepatotoxicity was associated by an imbalance in the redox status. However, magnesium only elevated blood urea nitrogen (BUN). Gabapentin is eliminated through the kidneys and, therefore, doesn’t typically cause liver injury. Learn safe dosage recommendations for people with liver disease. Gabapentin, a gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) analogue, has infrequently been reported to cause liver injury; however, the causality in the previous reports is contested. Herein, we report a gabapentin-induced hepatocellular injury in a patient without another identifiable cause for acute liver injury. Introduction: Gabapentin is an anti-convulsant that is also used off-label to treat neuropathic pain. It is not metabolized by the liver, and there have been few reports of hepatotoxity associated with it. We present a rare case of gabapentin-induced hepatotoxicity occurring in a young male. Case Description/Methods: A 41-year-old male with an extensive past medical history including type 1 Gabapentin-Induced Liver ToxicityAm J Ther. 2022 Nov-Dec;29 (6):e751-e752. doi: 10.1097/MJT.0000000000001208. Epub 2020 Jun 5. Gapentin is not metabolized by the liver, and its effects on the liver and kidneys are similar to previous studies. In rare cases, gabapentin can cause DRESS (drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms). Antiepileptic drugs (AEDs) are a common cause of drug induced liver injury (DILI). Over the last few decades, several newer AEDs were approved for marketing in the United States, and they are increasingly prescribed for indications other than The liver is the organ by which the majority of substances are metabolized, including psychotropic drugs. There are several pharmacokinetic changes in end-stage liver disease that can interfere with the metabolization of psychotropic drugs. This Gabapentin is generally considered safe for the liver, but rare cases of liver damage have been reported. Gabapentin, a medication primarily used to treat nerve pain and seizures, has gained popularity for its effectiveness and relatively mild side effects. Gabapentin enacarbil is a long acting form of gabapentin that is used for restless leg syndrome and for painful postherpetic neuropathy. Gabapentin enacarbil and gabapentin are associated with a low rate of transient serum enzyme elevations during treatment and with rare instances of clinically apparent liver injury. A drug-induced liver injury is one of the most common causes of acute liver failure. While acetaminophen is the most common etiology, other offending medications include amoxicillin-clavulanic acid, amiodarone, isoniazid, and fluoroquinolones to name a few. Gabapentin, a gamma-aminobutyric acid (GAB Gabapentin is a prescription drug for seizures and nerve pain. It usually doesn’t harm the liver, but it can cause a severe allergic reaction called DRESS syndrome that can affect the liver and kidneys. Learn how to avoid this risk and what dose is safe for you. Discussion: Gabapentin induced liver injury is rare with few reported cases, many of which did not exclude other etiologies. In this case, the key elements of diagnosing DILI were met including gabapentin initiation closely preceding liver injury, other etiologies excluded, and discontinuation of gabapentin leading to improvement. Gabapentin-Induced Liver Toxicity Chahal, Japjot MD 1; Arif, Muhammad Osman MD 2; Achufusi, Ted George MD 1 Author Information Does Gabapentin have any adverse side affects to the liver? Question posted by crake68 on 16 Sep 2013 Last updated on 5 March 2017 I found online somewhere that Gabapentin can inflame the liver, yet, also read that it is not metabolized in the liver at all. I read that incidents of liver problems are less than one percent as stated by Pfizer. Gabapentin affects nerves and chemicals in your body that are involved in some types of pain and in seizures. There is insufficient data to estimate incidence for these or establish whether gabapentin is the sole cause of elevated liver function tests, notes Pfizer. This class, which includes gabapentin and pregabalin, is not metabolized by the liver. Therefore, risks in patients with advanced liver disease are not greatly increased. However, there are case reports of pregabalin‐induced hepatoxicity. 4 Gabapentin and pregabalin are renally excreted, so dosages need to be adjusted for renal failure. Learn about the potential effects of Gabapentin on your liver and kidneys. Find out if it is safe to use and how to protect your organs while taking this medication.
