Imatinib-induced fulminant liver failure in chronic myeloid leukemia: role of liver transplant and second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors: a case report

چکیده
BACKGROUND There is a worldwide problem of acute liver failure and mortality associated with remaining on the waiting for a liver transplant. In this study, we highlight results published in recent years by leading transplant centers in evaluating imatinib-induced acute liver failure in chronic myeloid leukemia and follow-up in liver transplantation. CASE PRESENTATION A 36-year-old brown-skinned woman (mixed Brazilian race) diagnosed 1 year earlier with chronic myeloid leukemia was started after delivery of a baby and continued for 6 months with imatinib mesylate (selective inhibitor of Bcr-Abl tyrosine kinase), which induced liver failure. We conducted a literature review using the PubMed database for articles published through September 2017, and we demonstrate a role of liver transplant in this situation for imatinib-induced liver failure. We report previously published results and a successful liver transplant after acute liver failure due to imatinib-induced in chronic myeloid leukemia treatment. CONCLUSIONS We report a case of a successful liver transplant after acute liver failure resulting from imatinib-induced chronic myeloid leukemia treatment. The literature reveals the importance of prompt acute liver failure diagnosis and treatment with liver transplant in selected cases.

Analysis of Expression Of SIRT1 Gene In Patients With Chronic Myeloid Leukemia Resistant To Imatinib Mesylate
Background: Chronic myeloid leukemia is a clonal myeloproliferative disease which is characterized by bcr/abl translocation. With the emergence of tyrosine kinase inhibitors such as imatinib mesylate, significant improvement has been made in treatment of this disease. However, drug resistance against this medicine is still an obstacle. SIRT1 is a gene with deacetylase activity which has been de...
متن کاملUse of Second Generation Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitors for Second-Line Treatment of Chronic Myeloid Leukemia After Imatinib Failure
Invention of imatinib was a great step for much more successful clinical management of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Now, two other tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) are available both for first-line and later treatments of CML. In Turkey, currently 2nd line TKIs are indicated only for imatinib failure. This review will evaluate indications for changing imatinib with dasatinib or nilotinib, s...
متن کاملDevelopment and targeted use of nilotinib in chronic myeloid leukemia
The development of imatinib has resulted in sustained hematologic and cytogenetic remissions in all phases of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML). Despite the high efficacy, relapses have been observed and are much more prevalent in patients with advanced disease. The most common mechanism of acquired resistance has been traced to Bcr-Abl kinase domain mutations. Several strategies have been develop...
متن کاملCLINICAL TRIALS AND OBSERVATIONS Long-term outcome of patients with chronic myeloid leukemia treated with second-generation tyrosine kinase inhibitors after imatinib failure is predicted by the in vitro sensitivity of BCR-ABL kinase domain mutations
Secondary imatinib resistance in chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is associated in approximately 50% of cases with mutations in the BCR-ABL kinase domain, necessitating switch to one of several new tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) that act differentially on mutated BCR-ABL. We assess here whether scoring mutation based on in vitro inhibitory concentration of each TKI-mutation pair can predict lo...

This report describes an 89-year-old woman diagnosed with Philadelphia positive Chronic Myeloid Leukemia in 2007 who was initially treated with 200 mg/day imatinib. The patient demonstrated complete molecular response (CMR) in two tests in 2015 and 2018. During treatment between 2007 and 2019, despite increased dosage of imatinib and switching her therapy to nilotinib, complete hematological r...
