Ibrutinib‐induced severe liver injury
نویسندگان
چکیده
Ibrutinib, an inhibitor of the Bruton's tyrosine kinase of the B-cell receptor pathway, is an effective therapeutic agent for B-cell lymphomas. As these drugs are novel, long-term or rare adverse events are not yet known. We report the first case of ibrutinib-induced severe liver injury in a patient with relapsed/refractory CLL.

PROTECTIVE EFFECT OF PENTOXIFYLLINE ON LIVER INJURY INDUCED BY DEXAMETHASONE IN MICE
Background & Aims: Dexamethasone (Dex) is one of the most commonly used synthetic glucocorticoidbut its excessive intake can cause severe changes in liver function. The purpose of the study was to investigate the effect of pentoxifylline (PTX) on Dex-induced hepatic injury in mice. Materials & Methods: 24 adult male NMRI mice (36±2gr) were divided randomly into 4 groups (n=6): control, dexamet...

The anti-apoptotic gene bcl-2 is located in mitochondria, but it is uncertain whether its expression affects hepatocyte survival in ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury. This experiment was designed to evaluate the role of folic acid in expression of bcl-2 in I/R in rat liver. Eighteen Wister rats were divided into sham-operated controlgroup (C) (n=6), I/R group (...

Quercetin is a typical flavonoid with diverse biological effects, attributable to its free radical scavenging activity. Bioavailability of quercetin aglycone and its glycosides is an important factor for its antioxidant activity in vivo. A severe limitation exists and is imputable to very poor absorption of quercetin when administered orally. To overcome this limitation, development of a value ...

Objective(s): Interleukin-36 receptor antagonist (IL-36Ra) is a new member of the IL-1 family that exhibits anti-inflammatory activity in a variety of inflammatory and immune diseases. Our purpose was to determine the effect of IL-36Ra on liver injury in a mouse hepatitis model induced by concanavalin A (ConA). Materials and Methods: Mic...
متن کاملBlood oxygenation during hyperpressure intraperitoneal fluid administration in a rabbit model of severe liver injury: Evaluation of a novel concept for control of pre-hospital liver bleeding
Oxygen is an essential part of the most important metabolic pathways in aerobic organisms. Oxygen delivery is merely dependent on blood, rendering blood loss a devastating event. Traumatic pre-hospital liver bleeding is a major cause of early trauma deaths in human and animals, with no established therapeutic method yet. Increasing intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) has been shown to reduce liver b...
