Resolution of danazol-induced cholestasis with S-adenosylmethionine.
In a case of danazol-induced cholestasis, the anti-cholestatic agent S-adenosylmethionine was given intravenously for 3 weeks and then orally for 6 weeks. This was well tolerated and led to prompt resolution of both jaundice and associated renal impairment.
