title: [Azathioprine-induced hepatotoxicity in a patient with Crohn's disease].
abstract: Immunosuppressive drugs are among the pharmacological groups with the most theoretical potential to induce adverse reactions, including hepatic reactions. We report the case of a 35-year-old patient with Crohn's disease treated with azathioprine for steroid dependence which, after a hepatic biopsy, was diagnosed with nodular regenerative hyperplasia secondary to this treatment.
