[Does hyperthyroidism promote drug hepatotoxicity].
Mechanisms and circumstances in which drugs injure hepatocytes are not clear. It is known that thyroid gland hormones sensitize the liver to hepatic toxins, but not to commonly used drugs. We report two cases of liver injury mediated by acetaminophen and oestrogens which occurred during hepatic exposure to increased plasma level of thyroid hormones. We suggest that hyperthyroidism might promote drug hepatotoxicity.
