摘要
Oxyphenisatin is known to induce liver damage and is suspected to cause or perpetuate chronic liver disease. In order to evaluate the hepatotoxic effect of long-term therapy with oxyphenisatin 26 consecutive patients with rheumatoid arthritis were investigated for the presence of liver disease. In all cases, liver biopsy, biochemical liver function tests and determination of hepatitis-B antigen were performed. Ten patients showed no pathological changes in the liver biopsy and a further 2 had only non-specific changes. Seven patients had fatty liver, 5 passive congestion, one hemosiderosis and only one had cirrhosis of the liver. No correlation was found between the activity of rheumatoid arthritis, the duration of the disease, the drug therapy given and the liver damage.
