Hepatic injury in a patient taking rosiglitazone.
We describe a 52-year-old man with type 2 diabetes mellitus who developed cholestatic hepatitis in association with rosiglitazone use. Liver biopsy findings included dilated canaliculi, inspissated bile, intrahepatocellular bile pigment deposits, and enlarged xanthomatous Kupffer cells. The form of liver injury reported in this case differs markedly from those reported previously for rosiglitazone.
