Chronic pain is a prevalent condition with enormous economic burden. Opioids such as tramadol, codeine, and hydrocodone are commonly used to treat chronic pain; these drugs are activated to more potent opioid receptor agonists by the hepatic CYP2D6 enzyme. Results from clinical studies and mechanistic understandings suggest that CYP2D6-guided therapy will improve pain control and reduce adverse drug events.

Background & Aims: The aim of this study was to examine the determinants of the interplay between liver damage and the coagulation balance in individuals at risk of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD).
Methods: We considered 581 healthy participants with ≥3 metabolic alterations undergoing clinical and genomic evaluation, measurement of liver stiffness (LSM) and controlled attenuation parameter (CAP) by Fibroscan, Pro-C3, coagulation balance (von Willebrand factor [vWF], factor VIII/protein C ratio [F8/PC] as the main outcome, D-dimer as marker of coagulation/fibrinolysis activation).
Results: Liver fibrosis indices (both Fibrosis-4 [FIB-4] and liver stiffness measurement [LSM]), but not liver fat (CAP), were independently associated with higher F8/PC ratio ( <0.

Opioid prescribing for postoperative pain management is challenging because of inter-patient variability in opioid response and concern about opioid addiction. Tramadol, hydrocodone, and codeine depend on the cytochrome P450 2D6 (CYP2D6) enzyme for formation of highly potent metabolites. Individuals with reduced or absent CYP2D6 activity (i.
