Background: Selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs) are small-molecule compounds that exert agonist and antagonist effects on androgen receptors in a tissue-specific fashion. Because of their performance-enhancing implications, SARMs are increasingly abused by athletes. To date, SARMs have no Food and Drug Administration approved use, and recent case reports associate the use of SARMs with deleterious effects such as drug-induced liver injury, myocarditis, and tendon rupture.

Statin-induced liver injury has been widely described. However, cases of clinically significant liver injury are rare. We present a 56-year-old woman who developed atorvastatin-induced grade III acute liver injury with concurrent rhabdomyolysis that worsened after rechallenging, which highlighted the need for pharmacovigilance with statins.

Background And Objective: Iliopsoas abscess (IPA) is a rare condition with varied symptomology and etiology. Less than one-third of patients with IPA present in the emergency department (ED) with the traditional triad of fever, back pain, and restricted hip motion (or limp), leading to delays in diagnosis and management. Acute liver failure is also a rare clinical presentation in the ED, being associated with high morbidity and mortality.

Background: Under standard therapies, the incidence of drug-induced liver injury (DILI) in patients with tuberculosis ranges from 2% to 28%. Numerous studies have identified the risk factors for antituberculosis DILI; however, none have been conducted in a multiethnic real-world setting. The primary outcome of the current study was to identify the risk factors that could be used as the best predictors of DILI in a multiethnic cohort.

Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a rare but significant cause of acute liver failure, often challenging to diagnose due to its clinical similarity to other liver conditions. Since most drugs are metabolized by liver enzymes, the liver is at risk for hepatotoxicity. Although DILI has a low incidence in clinical practice, it remains a critical consideration for patients on potentially hepatotoxic medications.
